Why am I getting paid?
Maimonides wants to invest in select students, hoping to develop
their potential through teaching genuine leadership skills and educating
Jews about their heritage. As a result, fellows will be better positioned
to help their respective communities, thereby giving back to the
Jewish people. Additionally, Maimonides is sensitive to the finanical
responsibilities some students have while in school. As Maimonides
seeks to empower the top students on campus, we have raised money
in order to alleviate any financial concerns students might have
as a result of participating in the fellowship.
