The cost of the 2027-2028 Workshop program will be announced in the coming months. HDNA is committed to making Workshop as accessible as possible. Workshop tuition includes all educational programming, seminars and day trips, food, housing, living expenses, ground transportation within Israel, health insurance, and more.

Program tuition does not include airfare to and from Israel or a recommended kupa (collective spending-money fund) contribution of $1,000-$2,000. All Workshop participants will also receive a $200 scholarship from Masa and will have the opportunity to apply for additional needs-based funding from Masa.

If you plan on applying for the Amy Adina Schulman Scholarship or other scholarships that are available through HDNA, please be sure to fill out the HDNA Scholarship Form by February 1st, 2027.
