Scholarships:
Scholarships are offered by the USY regions, local congregations and affiliated programs for qualifying USYers. For further information on these and other scholarship programs, contact your synagogue or regional USY director, or contact the USY International Office for more information.

Payment and Cancellation Policy:
A $750 deposit is required, with the balance to be paid on or before April 1. Should an application be withdrawn for any reason, a $150 processing fee will be withheld provided such written cancellation is received by March 1, and then the following cancellation fee schedule applies:

March 1-31: $750
April 1 - May 3: $950
May 4-26: $1,200
May 27 - June 9: $2,000
June 10 - Departure: Full cost of Program

Please note: Additional cancellation fees may apply for all programs. You will be notified of such fees in advance.
USY does not provide trip cancellation or interruption insurance. Please contact your local insurance company or contact the USY office for recommended options.

For Early Bird Registration: A $750 deposit is required in order to reserve your spot and qualify for the early bird discount. Final prices are set to be announced around November 1, 2010. Once prices are officially announced, you will be notified immediately and you will have 2 weeks to cancel without penalty. After this two week period has concluded, should an application be withdrawn for any reason, a $150 processing fee will be withheld provided such written cancellation is received by March 1, at which point additional cancellation fees will apply. All applicants must still complete a full preliminary application.


Special Arrangements:

  • If you wish to be grouped with friends, your request must be made in writing by March 3, 2011. USY will try to honor all mutual requests; however, none are guaranteed.
  • If you have a departure date preference for an Israel Pilgrimage program, your request must be made in writing by March 3, 2011. Due to limited space in each departure, we may not be able to honor all departure requests.
