  • The Bronfman Fellowship is a non-profit educational program for young Jews in Israel and North America. It was founded in 1987 by philanthropist Edgar M. Bronfman, and is partially funded through his foundation, The Samuel Bronfman Foundation. It was formerly known as The Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel (BYFI). The Bronfman Fellowship selects 26 outstanding North American teenagers and 20 Israeli teenagers for a rigorous academic year of seminars including a free, five-week trip to Israel for North American Fellows ("Bronfmanim") between the summer of Fellows’ junior and senior years of high school, and a free trip to the United States for Israeli Fellows ("Amitim") during their final year of high school. The program educates and inspires exceptional young Jews from diverse backgrounds to grow into leaders grounded in their Jewish identity and committed to pluralism. The Bronfman Fellowship's network of over 1,400 alumni include 8 Rhodes Scholars, 2 Schwarzman Scholars, 4 Supreme Court clerks, 18 Fulbright Scholars, 35 Wexner Fellows and 27 Dorot Fellows. Their 2011 applicant to Fellow ratio was 12:1, whereas Yale’s was 14:1 and Harvard’s 16:1. The Bronfman Fellowship has been listed by Chuck Hughes, former Senior Admissions Officer at Harvard, in his book, "What it Really Takes to Get Into the Ivy League and other Highly Selective Colleges" as one of the programs which "act as filters for admissions officers to validate candidates who have been similarly identified by other organizations for talent and promise."
