Thank you for your interest in NFTY-EIE and we are delighted that you’ll be applying for the program. Each semester we receive increasing numbers of applications from exceptionally competitive and talented candidates. As a result, each completed application is carefully reviewed by the Director of Admissions who looks for candidates who are a right “fit” for the program. The review includes an evaluation of the applicant’s academic background and grades earned. Additionally, the committee takes into account your essay, letters of recommendations, commitment to Jewish life and learning and interest in the program. Applications for financial aid do not affect admissions decisions.
