Israel Travel Experiences for Teens

The Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor values the transformative power of Israel travel experiences for teens. To help make participation in these trips possible, we offer an Israel Travel Programs Travel Subsidy for gap year programs.

Qualification Requirements

This funding opportunity is open to Washtenaw County high school students and those participating in gap year programs between high school and college. The applicant must be traveling to Israel on a summer, semester, or gap year program that is a minimum of 28 days of length and is organized by an approved provider. A list of approved providers can be found through Masa Israel and the Jewish Agency for Israel. Funds are not available for college-age students participating in post-gap year experiences.

Israel Travel Programs Subsidy

Applicants may receive a grant of up to $1,000, depending on the number of request received. At the conclusion of the trip, recipients are expected to submit an essay and photo highlighting the trip for publication on the Federation’s website and the Washtenaw Jewish News. See an example here.
