General Application Information

Financial Aid, Services & Aliyah Processing Application:
In addition to receiving NBN’s full range of services and Aliyah processing, funding will be provided for those whose grant application is accepted by the NBN Review Committee**.

Services & Aliyah Processing Application (No Financial Assistance Needed):
Applicants requesting non-financial assistance & Aliyah processing (services only) are encouraged to join an NBN flight to benefit from the expedited government processing, however they may also make their own flight arrangements at any time and avail themselves of our services.
Priority for funding and flight placement will be given to completed applications received by the original deadline. Applications must be received and approved prior to making Aliyah in order to be eligible for assistance. Grants are awarded for the calendar year in which you originally apply to make Aliyah, and do not carry over into subsequent calendar years.
