What a year in Israel costs
Only 35 of the 123 programs listed here put a price on their own website. This table has every one of them, with the school year the price is for. Full-year prices in dollars run from $13,000 to $39,000.
Prices aren't like for like: some include room and board, flights or insurance, some are before or after a Masa grant. Read the note and the program's own page before you compare. Many programs publish next year's price in the winter, so a price marked "not stated" or "a past year's price" is a reason to ask.
35 programs. Monthly and per-semester prices sort after yearly ones.
