OUR PURPOSE
Engage in the exciting learning that takes place at AJU. Our goal is to build a cadre of women who come together to learn, and who understand and support the vital work of American Jewish University. We hope that you will join us for this spring learning opportunity and in the Fall of 2011 consider making a gift to our AJU Scholarship Fund, and continue your participation in this ongoing program.
AJU SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Giving to the AJU Scholarship Fund supports the education of future Jewish leaders, through our Rabbinic, Jewish education, non-profit MBA and undergraduate academic programs. The AJU students, passionate about their chosen fields, will ignite our Jewish imaginations for years to come.

American Jewish University
American Jewish University is a thriving center of Jewish resources and talent built upon the mission of Jewish learning, Culture, Ethics, Leadership and Peoplehood. In 2007, the University of Judaism merged with Brandeis-Bardin creating a landmark entity, American Jewish University, with two campuses, a single vision and a shared future. Today American Jewish University is one of the largest and most innovative Jewish institutions in the country.
Heartened by our vibrant Jewish community, we continue to add faculty, expand our curriculum and develop innovative academic programs that prepare undergraduate, graduate and rabbinical students for rewarding lives - as leaders in the Jewish community as well as society at large. Our graduates are making a difference in the world.
We are an American Jewish University for the entire community: college students, graduate students in business, education and arts, aspiring rabbis, Jews of every belief, background and branch of Judaism, and non-Jews as well.
