APPLICATION STEPS
The Israel Teaching Fellows program is a unique opportunity and privilege. But, like any paid position in education, there are some steps to get there. Here's what you can expect!
TAKE THE FIRST STEP!
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and it only takes a few minutes. Yalla, let's go – launch your application!
INITIAL INTERVIEW
We’ll connect with you via email to set up a brief initial conversation with a NEXT Coordinator so that you can get to know us and we can get to know you.
COMPLETE THE APPLICATION
We'll invite you to complete the full Fellows application.
FULL INTERVIEW
Once your application is completed and reviewed, we'll schedule a formal Fellow nomination interview.
SUPPLEMENTAL FORMS
You'll be invited to submit completed health forms, a background check, resume, and passport copy
DEPOSIT
At this point, you may be formally accepted as a Teaching Fellow and will be asked to submit a non-refundable $300 USD program deposit to hold your spot.
MASA GRANT
Complete the Masa grant application, which is what subsidizes the rest of the program cost. The grant application typically opens in late spring.
FINAL PAYMENT
The remaining $900 USD program fee is due within three months of the program start date. If you are already within the 3-month period, the balance will be due within three weeks of acceptance. The balance payment is non-refundable – exceptions may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis (e.g. medical).
VISA
Since you’ll be in Israel for more than three months, you’ll need a special A-2 Visa which is easily obtained at your nearest Israeli embassy or consulate (no cost). We recommend starting the visa application process 60 days prior to your arrival in Israel.
