Before we say goodbye to 2020, please join us in congratulating this year’s George E Jonas Scholars. GEJ Scholars are selected based on their intellectual ability, character, financial need, and on an evaluation of the applicant’s future promise of fostering the values of Camp Rising Sun. The 2020 GEJ Scholars exemplify LAJF’s mission of fostering a lifelong commitment to compassionate and responsible leadership for the betterment of our communities.
