    Financial Assistance for Middle Eastern Students:
    The Arava Institute is a non-subsidized, non-profit institution. We realize that the cost of this program is above the average cost of a typical university program in the Middle East; therefore we offer scholarships to qualified Middle Eastern students in order to decrease this discrepancy. Please contact us at info@arava.org to inquire about these scholarships.
