Financial Aid
We hope that financial hardships do not prevent you from spending a year learning in Eretz Yisrael. To that end, Bircas HaTorah has several options for those students who are unable to meet their tuition obligations. In addition, we strongly recommend that you contact your local Jewish Federation and synagogue to see if they have any scholarship programs for study in Eretz Yisrael. Students should also apply to The Israel Scholarship Committee of the Foundation for Jewish Philanthropies as well as The Alisa Flatow Memorial Fund To discuss options for financial aid and other tuition related matters please contact us.
