Brandeis University's Hornstein Program offers full scholarships to recently laid-off federal workers - Brandeis University

In response to the wave of recent federal layoffs, Brandeis University’s Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program will offer a limited number of full-tuition scholarships to eligible former federal employees and contractors. The initiative, which is available to candidates for the fall 2025 semester who wish to pursue a master’s degree within the Hornstein program, is designed to support talented professionals seeking to develop careers in Jewish nonprofit and communal sectors. Through this scholarship, applicants can choose to pair their Hornstein degree with a Master of Public Administration (MPP) or Master of Business Administration (MBA), pathways that provide them with the fundraising, strategy and human-resources skills they need to make successful career transitions into the Jewish communal sector. “These scholarships reflect our deep respect for individuals who have dedicated their careers to the public good,” said Liora Norwich, director of the Hornstein Program. “We are proud to offer this opportunity to build new leadership pathways for those who wish to now serve the Jewish community.”
