Summer Internship in Israel

<p>My son at Mizzou is applying for a summer internship through careerisrael.com . Does anyone know of scholarships that might defray some of the cost? I have tried our temple and the Jewish Federation in NY. There are scholarships available for semester long internships but for some reason I have been unable to find one for just the summer. BTW, we live in Colorado). Does anyone have experience with this organization? Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>Did you look at Onward Israel?</p>

<p>[Community</a> / Organization - Onward Israel](<a href=“http://www.onwardisrael.com/category/community--organization]Community”>http://www.onwardisrael.com/category/community--organization)</p>

<p>Quakerstate, from what I can tell Onward Israel is not offered through any of the organizations in Colorado.</p>

<p>His own Hillel, or his academic department… or your Denver Federation (why NY?) seem to be more promising leads…</p>

<p>@Blossom, I did check with the Colorado Federation. I called NY because they are the largest with the greatest number of programs and I thought they would be aware of what is available.</p>

<p>Can he apply to Birthright and then extend his stay? That gets his airfare paid for…</p>

<p>I should have mentioned: this all began with a Birthright trip in December.</p>

<p>Definitely look into MASA Israel, an organization that offers a number of academic and internship programs for 18-30 year olds. They have some grants and FA available, and also have advice about where else you might look for sources of funding (i.e, your local Jewish federation).</p>

<p>thanks for the info. Masa only offers scholarships for internships of 6 months or longer. My son would love to be there for a full semester but as a double major that isn’t feasible. He is only able to do a summer.</p>
