New Immigrant (Oleh Chadash)

The Jewish Agency provides advice and assistance to students considering immigrating to Israel, for more information click here. For students from North America/UK considering or making Aliyah click here.

As an oleh you will be eligible for various benefits from the government, including a student scholarship for your BA or MA studies, if you start your studies before the age of 27 or 30 (respectively) and within 3 years from your Aliyah date.

You must check your Israel Defense Forces (IDF) status. In general, you might need to serve in the army (this depends on your age upon arrival in Israel) but may be eligible to defer your service until after you graduate.
