As a participant in a MASA-approved program you will become part of a global community of young Jewish adults from 48 different countries, coming together for a long term program in Israel. Your journey will open the road to new cultures and ideas, a deeper understanding of your Jewish heritage, opportunities to get acquainted with your peers from Israel and around the world, and volunteer experiences that may alter your career decisions.
We wish you all the best as you begin your Israel journey with MASA.
MASA funding is for your first year only. Participants who have previously received a MASA grant or scholarship or who have been on an organized long-term Israel program since September, 2004 are not eligible to apply.
MASA grants are available only to Jewish applicants who are not Israeli citizens or who have left Israel before their 14th birthday and have lived outside of Israel for over 4 years.
