About Financial Aid The Nesiya Institute recognizes that cost can be a significant challenge to participating in a Nesiya program.

The 2010 Early Application Discount Deadlines:

Nesiya Fellowship Awards (Need and/or Merit-based Financial Support) A portion of all Nesiya financial support (based on demonstrated need and/or merit) obligates recipients to fulfill relevant volunteer and enrichment activities when they return home. A portion of all Nesiya financial awards (up to $1,500) requires fulfillment of a Nesiya Fellowship. Any additional support granted by Nesiya is usually a grant, for which no follow-up obligations are necessary. Each year, approximately 75% of Kehillah Experience alumni participate in fellowship activities which they design in consultation with Nesiya staff. Credit toward fulfilling a Nesiya Fellowship can be earned through a wide-range of different activities, including participating in the annual Nesiya Winter Retreat. If fellowship obligations are not completed in the agreed time period, parents assume responsibility for repaying part or all of the sum to The Nesiya Institute. For more information on how a wide range of different activities can be applied toward fulfilling a Nesiya Fellowship, please contact the Nesiya office.
Nesiya Need-Based Financial Support: Need-based scholarship decisions are based on the submission of a financial aid form and the program application. All need-based applicants are required to also seek support from local sources. Please contact Nesiya if you need help identifying sources of funding in your community. Applicants increase their chances of receiving significant support from Nesiya by also submitting a Nesiya Community Internship Proposal with their program and financial-need application. Nesiya financial awards are finalized only after applicants and their parents sign a fellowship agreement, including a community internship proposal, prior to the beginning of the summer program.
To apply for need-based financial assistance, please submit the Nesiya financial aid form with your application, which can be downloaded or requested from the Nesiya office. Need-based Financial Aid Information and Forms:
