Gap Year

Spend Your Gap Year in Israel!

PLEASE NOTE: SCHOLARSHIP PORTAL FOR 2026-27 GAP YEAR IS CLOSED


NCSY Gap year provides resources, guidance, and information regarding which post-secondary learning program in Israel best fits your child's needs. We strongly encourage our NCSY alumni to take advantage of this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study in Israel after they graduate.


Spending a gap year in Israel helps your teen to build a strong Jewish foundation before they enter university. This foundation is one that builds bond and connects teens to the land of Israel, the Jewish people, and their Jewish heritage.
