Costs & MASA Israel Funding
Eco-Israel is one of the most affordable long-term programs in Israel.
The overall cost of the program, which includes housing, food, Hebrew classes & field trips, is $5,000.
You may be eligible for generous scholarship funds* from MASA Israel, a joint project between the State of Israel and the Jewish Agency, that supports long-term study/experiential programs in Israel.
Once you’ve been accepted to Eco-Israel, registering through the MASA site automatically puts you in the pool for scholarship funds. If you want to look for other scholarships, there is a listing of resources on the MASA website. People have also been successful finding funds through local Jewish organizations – synagogues, Federations, etc.
* Please see the MASA website for eligibility requirements. Most Eco-Israel participants are eligible from grants between $1000-$4500.
