Frequently Asked Questions - Application Process

Yes. This is an international program. We have participants from the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and many other parts of the world. As long as you are confident that your nationality will not prevent you from obtaining an Israeli visa, you are welcome to apply.

Simply fill out the online registration form. Once you have done this you will need to submit your $150 registration fee (see the payments page).

Yes, we have many alumni who would be happy to give you advice and answer any of your questions. We can provide you with contact information of alumni or you can post questions to the Middle East Fellowship facebook group where many of alumni are “friends” of our program.

Unfortunately we do not provide the contact information of other participants before the program starts. This is for confidentiality and security reasons.

For the current deadlines please refer to the Dates and Prices page. Typically the deadline is one month prior to the start of the program.

Participants must be at least 18 years old to apply.

Middle East Fellowship and Holy Land Trust reserve the right to reject any application submitted to us. We may, for example, impose a cap for a maximum number of participants. In this case any application submitted after we have filled all available spots will be returned. If for any reason whatsoever we feel that you may be a risk to yourself or others during the program, your application will be denied. We ask that people do not purchase their plane tickets until they have been formally accepted into the program.

If your application is denied for any reason or the program itself is cancelled, your $150 is fully refundable. If you cancel your participation, however, the fee is not refunded. Beginning the minute that your application is accepted we begin working on your behalf to set up a great summer program for you, and this fee helps cover a small portion of the costs incurred.
