I, the undersigned, am participating in a Masa Approved Program organized by a Masa

Approved Organizer, (hereafter: 'the Program' and 'the Organizer'), under the auspices of Masa Israel Journey (hereafter: 'the Company'). Masa Israel is a joint initiative by the Government of Israel and the Jewish Agency for Israel.

Note: For Participants younger than 18, a Parent/Guardian must sign on their behalf.

I hereby agree, declare and accept that:

 

A.   I will remain in Israel until the end of the Program. I will not travel abroad unless permitted to do so, or during my free time during the course of the Program, In accordance with Masa Israel’s terms and the conditions established by the Organizer, and on condition that the vacation is not taken at the start and/or at the end of the program.

 

B.   I understand that the total duration of a vacation during the program will not exceed two weeks in programs up to and including six months long and one month in programs longer than six months. Vacation days set in the program schedule and days of Chol HaMoed will be considered part of the total of vacation days.

A participant’s late arrival in the program or early departure from the program will not be considered participation days, for all intents and purposes.

If I arrive in Israel after the start date of the Program or leave Israel before the Program’s end date, I understand that this will result in a pro-rata reduction in the financial aid I am entitled to from Masa.

 

I accept that any vacation time I take over and above the allowable maximum as described above will result in a pro-rata reduction in the financial aid I am entitled to from Masa Israel.

 

C.   In order to attend the Program I will pay my part of the costs, i.e. the cost of the program, less the Masa Israel’s financial assistance for which I am eligible.

 

D.   I will convey to the Organizer, in writing or verbally, all relevant information pertaining to my legal status in Israel. I will provide all necessary documents attesting to my status. I will also advise the Organizer of any change in my legal status.

 

E.   I will participate fully in all activities, meetings, tours and hikes included in the Program, especially (but not only) main Masa Israel events, as determined by the Company.

 

F.    I am aware of all my obligations, privileges and limitations regarding my stay in Israel during the Program, especially (but not only) as they pertain to safety and security instructions.

This applies equally whether I am on campus (or another base of activities), on hikes, during my free time, at organized host family events, or during travel and visits abroad, in accordance with the guidelines provided by the organizer that appear as Appendix C&D in the information pamphlet provided by the Program Organizer.

 

G.   I am aware that the Company is giving me financial assistance by the way of sharing in the Program costs, and that the Company receives it’s funding from the Government of Israel and The Jewish Agency for Israel.

I.     I am aware that the Company has no responsibilities or obligations to me with regards to academic and/or other credit for the Program.

 

J.    I am aware that if I breach any of these terms I will not be entitled for any financial assistance; and the Organizer will pro-rata refund the Company all monies that were paid to the Organizer for my participation in the Program. The Company and/or the Organizer has the right to demand and receive from me the full amount of financial assistance that was paid to the Organizer on my behalf, which was provided as a discount for my participation fees in the Program.

 

K.   The financial assistance provided by Masa consist of money granted to a participant (through the organizer) in an approved and recognized Masa Program. Financial assistance is divided into two types:

 

·         A uniform grant provided to every participant, according to country of origin and type of program for which the participant arrives, in accordance with Masa’s financial assistance policy which changes periodically.

·         A need-based scholarship provided to participants requesting this assistance, who meet the criteria set for this purpose. The sum of financial assistance will be adjusted to match the duration of the program.

The sum of financial assistance will be individually determined for each participant, based on inspection of the participant’s needs and according to the criteria determined and published periodically. The method for determining eligibility will be differential, the criteria being the participant’s country of origin, personal financial situation, age and duration of the program. These criteria may change periodically in accordance with Masa’s scholarship policy.

The financial assistance will only be provided to participants for one activity year.

In cases of partial participation in the program, the financial assistance will be calculated according to the length of participation, and as long as the participant remained in the program for at least two months. A participant who remained in the program less than two months will not be eligible for any financial assistance from Masa.

Masa’s full financial assistance policy is available on Masa’s website and is distributed to the organizers for consideration in conferences and publications. This policy is determined by the Company Board of Directors and Steering Committee. The policy undergoes periodic changes and it is my responsibility to remain updated on the current policy at relevant times. The Company reserves the right to change its financial assistance policy up to the time enrollment to the program begins.

 

L.    I am aware of the following deadlines in applying for Masa Israel’s financial assistance:

Should I decide nevertheless to submit a claim to the Company, the Government of Israel, or the Jewish Agency for Israel, I will reimburse them in full for any amount they are required to pay for damage or loss incurred by them as the result of my claim and/or as the result of breaching or otherwise failing to comply with the terms of my commitment as laid out here and/or according to law. This compensation will also extend to any legal costs and expenses that are incurred for any of the above reasons.

(iii) I understand that because there may be differences in categorization between my original Program of choice and the second Program, my participation duration in the original Program and that of the second Program may affect my classification as a “Masa Participant”, and I undertake to clarify this status personally with all relevant parties in both programs (the original Program and the second Program) and ensure that I still meet all that is required of me as a “Masa Participant”, and I shall not approach Masa and/or anyone assigned on Masa’s behalf with any complaint and/or demand regarding this classification (in the event that, for any reason, my financial assistance will be reduced from what I received for participation in the original Program).

 

(iiii) I understand that I will be permitted to transfer between programs during my stay in Israel and the organizer must allow me to do so. The remainder of the financial assistance for which I am eligible will remain available to me, and will be calculated according to the time of leaving a program relative to the length of the program.

In cases of partial participation in the program, the financial funding will be calculated according to the length of participation, and as long as the participant remained in the program for at least two weeks.
