Only applicants who have submitted complete applications will be eligible for admission!
 
Note On Application Submissions: Applications may be submitted online, or by mail, fax or email. Applications sent by mail may take 3 weeks or more to arrive. Please be patient! We will inform you when your application has arrived at our offices. Applications sent by email should be sent in Adobe PDF format (Microsoft Word format is also acceptable).
 
2. Apply for the MASA Grant
Click HERE to apply for the MASA Grant on their website
 
PLEASE NOTE: Once you have been approved for the MASA grant, you must mail or fax us your signed signature page so that we can process your paperwork (it is the page that has a space for your "Program Organizer" to sign as well). IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE YOUR SIGNED SIGNATURE PAGE, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE THE MASA GRANT!
 
3. Participate in a phone interview with a Tikkun Olam representative
After we have received and reviewed your written application, we will contact you to schedule a time when we can call you to conduct a phone interview. Phone interviews can be expected to last 30-60 minutes. During the interview, your interviewer will try to get a more personal impression of who you are, why you are interested in the program and how you would fit in to the program's goals. It is a chance for us to get to know the person behind the application, as well as to gauge your level of dedication, maturity, and how well you will be able to work in a group.
 
4. Stay in touch with us!
Following your interview, we will be in touch with you to let you know of our timetable for reaching a decision. In the meantime, and even after a decision is reached, we ask that you keep in touch with us. We are happy to answer any of your questions or address any concerns. In the meantime, it is extremely important that you keep us apprised of any changes in your contact information. As the start of the program approaches, we will need to send you information on preparing to come join us in Israel.

Rolling Admissions
The Tikkun Olam admissions process operates on a "rolling admissions" basis, meaning we accept qualified applicants as we complete their individual application processes. Space is strictly limited, so those who apply earlier have a better chance of being admitted!
