Medical Coverage

Every student must be covered by medical insurance while she is enrolled at Neve. If she has a medical pre-condition, she must obtain medical insurance from home that covers overseas stays. Proof of this coverage must be brought with her when she arrives at Neve.

If the student does not have a medical pre-condition, she must join one of two Israeli health plans that are offered through Neve. The first health plan, which costs U.S. $50.00 a year, provides coverage for hospitalization only (up to 90 days) in cases of injury or serious illness occurring for the first time in Israel (pre-conditions are not included). The plan does not cover visits to doctors' offices, the cost of medication, or dental work.

The second plan, costing approximately U.S. $1.00 a day, covers hospitalization, doctors' visits, and prescription costs, but does not include dental work.

Financial Aid

Students who are unable to pay the full cost of a Neve education should first investigate the possibility of receiving monetary support from Jewish Federations, local synagogues, youth groups, or other organizations that offer scholarships for study in Israel. If the student is still unable to fully fund her education, she may apply to the Neve School of General Jewish Studies for financial assistance. The school will send a Financial Assistance Request Form on which the student can document her economic hardship.

A number of colleges and universities in the United States offer a Joint Program with the Neve School of General Jewish Studies whereby the student is accepted both at the home college and at Neve. While attending Neve, the student is considered a registered student of the home college and pays tuition to that college. In turn, the home college issues an official college transcript for credits taken at Neve. United States students who are enrolled in Joint Programs are eligible for Federal grants. New York State residents are also available for New York State grants.
