Scholarships for York Students to Study in Israel

Application Information

To obtain University entrance and scholarship applications, please contact the addresses given below.

All scholarships are open to any full-time York student, who has completed at least one full year at York; they are generally not awarded to students for whom the year in Israel will be their last at York.

For undergraduates, preference will be given to students completing their second year of full-time studies. The academic record of applicants will be given considerable weight. A minimum B average is usually required in order to be considered.

To qualify, students must meet faculty requirements for study abroad, receive approval of their course of study in Israel from their faculty and major department, and be accepted by an Israeli university.

Selection criteria for the scholarships include academic excellence, participation in university life, seriousness of interest, suitability of the host institution's program for your particular degree requirements, and, where indicated, proof of financial need.

Scholarship applicants must submit:
