Personal Statement :
* Please state your reasons for wanting to attend the Meor Israel Travel Experience:
How did you hear about the program?
An interview is required for all qualified applicants. Following acceptance, the full amount for the program will be due, and will be non-refundable, due to the heavily subsidized nature of the trip.
Also, owing to this fact, students agree to participate fully in all events and activities on the schedule in order to receive the scholarship. A working copy of the schedule will be available in advance for your review. Failure to fully participate in the program on arrival in Israel may result in the participant forfeiting his or her subsidy for that day, based on the program's true value (approximately $2,500.00) total. I, the participant, give Meor permission to charge my credit card on file to reimburse Meor for this pro-rated amount should I neglect to participate in the program after my arrival in Israel.
Also, by submitting this application you are certifying that everything you have filled out is true to the best of your knowledge. Full and honest reporting is essential for effective review by the Meor Israel application review board and misrepresentations could result in the applicant being responsible for the value of his or her scholarship awarded on the basis of false information.
