Grants, Scholarships & Funding Your Participation

You can already apply for your $3000 universal MASA grant. Many of our participants have received an additional $1500 from MASA since they qualify as "independents." See details in the "Needs Based" section below.

REMEMBER: Jewish Federations, synagogues (brotherhood/sisterhood) and other organizations often have funds earmarked for usage by young adults traveling to Israel. Motivated participants have received additonal funding ranging from $500 to $1750 by appealing to Jewish organizations and federations and even family and friends. Learn more about funding your trip.

Tuition includes: Hebrew Ulpan, professional internships, program activities, housing throughout the program, room/board at seminars and more. See What You Get.

Particpants are responsible for their flight to Israel. Participants wishing to have their own room in the apartment can do so for a single supplement charge of $1250 which will be added to your tuition.
