Our Undergraduate Fellowship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for rising college juniors to:
Spend the Spring semester of their junior year studying abroad in Israel,
Explore their Jewish identity and how it fits into a larger Jewish context, and
Take the first step toward a career that will make a difference in the world.
As one of 40 fellows from across the Jewish-identity spectrum, you will study at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, live in the community with other students, and determine what your role will be in the future of Jewish life.
Then, once you’ve completed our Undergraduate Fellowship, you qualify to apply for our Graduate Fellowship -- a way to continue the pursuit of your passion and career at the graduate level with support from The Nachshon Project.
If you have passion, curiosity, and a desire for tikkun olam, we hope you’ll join us as an Undergraduate Fellow!
