Getting ready for your year in Israel

FINANCIAL AID
Tiferet has a limited amount of financial aid available for incoming students.   Students and their parents who need financial assistance in order to satisfy their tuition and other expenses of their year in Israel should also discuss possible sources with their high school’s Israel advisor well in advance of applying to any program. Some options include the S. Daniel Abraham Joint Israel Program with Stern College/Yeshiva University, the Touro College Israel Option, (Tiferet is eligible for these 2 college-related programs and your attendance at Tiferet may qualify you for federal or NY State assistance), the local UJA-Federation agency, MASA (see below for link) , or the student's local synagogue.

MEDICAL INSURANCE PLAN
Tiferet requires that all students purchase an emergency medical insurance plan selected by the school; this is a comprehensive network of English-speaking doctors and specialists who provide top private medical care. An upgrade to this plan is available for a moderate additional fee. Information will be sent to all students and parents after Pesach.

Please note that this insurance plan is valid only in Israel and does not cover pre-existing conditions, so do not cancel your current insurance coverage.

MOBILE  PHONE  RENTAL

Each year Tiferet selects a specific cell phone provider.  All students are required to be part of this plan so that the administration can quickly reach all of its students simultaneously with any important information. 

Signing your daughter up with our designated cellphone provider ensures that we at Tiferet can instantly communicate with her with important text messages, which she will not readily receive if she has a different mobile phone.  Flexible plans are available depending on your usage.
