Financial Aid
Generous Need-Based Financial Aid is available that may cover up to 50% of tuition. Find our FACTS APPLICATION and
submit no later than 90 days to departure. All AMHSI-JNF financial aid recipients will be required to participate in future recruitment efforts.
In addition to our Financial Aid program, there are several other ways to help you with your tuition.

Dream Israel
Dream Israel helps Jewish high school students take the Israel trip of their dreams. Fundraise for a Jewish National Fund-USA project in Israel and become eligible for up to $7,500 in grants on qualifying programs. Dream Israel grants may
not be combined with the Early Bird Price and may only be applied with certain discounts. Learn more here
.
Regional Scholarships
Your local Israel Programs Admissions Director can help secure funding from local Federations, synagogues, and the like. Additionally, nearly 70 regional scholarships are available. See the full list here.
Payment Plan
Payment in full is required four weeks prior to departure. The deposit and first installment payment should be paid as directed. While there is no official AMHSI-JNF payment plan for the balance of the tuition, we are happy to receive a series
of payments from families who would prefer to break down and spread out financial disbursements prior to the date due.
Plant Your Way to Israel
Students can raise funds through Jewish National Fund-USA’s Plant Your Way program. This crowd-funding platform was designed for individuals, under the age of 30, planning to go to Israel. Fifty percent of all funds raised will be available
for contribution to your AMHSI-JNF tuition fees. The other 50% of earnings will be directed to Jewish National Fund. Get started today!
