She'arim's goal is to enable students to learn as long as they would like. For this reason, we try to keep our fees manageable, and offer various packages of financial assistance.
For short term students, we pro-rate our tuition fees per month, so that they can feel free to come for as long or short a stay as they desire. If they come for a short time, they can extend their stay as desired.
We are aware that some potential students will need financial assistance. Information regarding a variety of financial plans can be found on the scholarship page.
We encourage potential students to contact a variety of sources of funding outside of She'arim. An excellent resource regarding funding is StudyinIsrael. Additional details are available upon submitting an application.
She'arim's policy is not to turn anyone away for financial reasons. We are grateful to our donors and alumnae who enable us to make this statement.

Most cities have a local Jewish Federation that provides assistance to study in Israel. Each Federation has its own requirements for scholarships. To apply, call (this is usually better then writing or emailing) the person in charge of scholarships at your local Federation. To locate your local federation, go to: in the United States the UJC site; in Canada the UIA site; and in other countries do a search for "Jewish federation" and the name of the country. Many synagogues and Jewish organizations may provide assistance for a period of study in Israel. We suggest that you contact these organizations to see if you might be eligible for financial assistance. |
