NFTY-EIE has a need-based scholarship fund for the NFTY-EIE High School in Israeland need is somewhat liberally determined. To help appropriately set your expectations: the NFTY scholarship fund awards between $500 - $2500 per student.

Each applicant will be sent a copy of the scholarship application during the application process. NFTY-EIE Scholarship applications must be received by July 1 for a Fall semester or December 1 for a Spring semester.  There is no scholarship assistance available for the Summer Semester.

If you request a scholarship award of $1000 or more, you must submit a copy of your tax documents in order to be considered for a scholarship award.

Scholarship assistance is also available from a variety of other sources. We work together with these organizations to help put together an appropriate scholarship package for your family:

• URJ Congregations usually have some scholarship money set aside for trips like this or know of other local sources of which we’re not aware
• Local Jewish Federations/Bureaus of Jewish Education (Many Federations provide special scholarships for study programs in Israel)
• The Jewish National Fund has a program called "Plant your way to Israel." You sell trees for the JNF, and they put half of your earnings into an account that you can later redeem for a trip to Israel. For more information, visit their website
