Financing Your Studies

Nishmat would like to assist in making it financially feasible for you to enjoy the wonderful learning program that we provide.

We have gathered information about various outside organizations that offer financial assistance programs to students who wish to study in Israel. These organizations are not part of Nishmat, so they are listed on a separate website that we initiated.

We urge you to contact these organizations and apply to their assistance programs as soon as you receive your acceptance to Nishmat.

In order to keep this site updated, please contact us with any other organizations that you know of that have assistance programs for study in Israel. Also, let us know if one of the listed programs no longer exists.

New Information Regarding MASA Scholarships for the 2009-2010 Academic Year:

For North American students, MASA Israel Journey has changed its grant policy for 2009-2010, effective for programs beginning in September 2009: All Post-College participants automatically receive a universal grant of $4500 for 10-12 month programs. They automatically receive $3000 for 5-9 month programs.

Need-based financial aid grants are also available under certain circumstances.

Nishmat has collected this information from various sources over the past few years. It is not responsible for the accuracy of the information; each student is encouraged to investigate these sources and seek local sources of their own.
