I have been on other Israel experiences. Will that hurt my chances?

Most likely not. However, there are a few trips that are funded by the same foundation which fund Akiva, which would disqualify you. Please list all Israel trips you have been on in your application. If you have been on these trips in the past, your name will show up on the data base, and they will consider this “double dipping”. When we review your application we will check if any of the trips you have been on disqualify you from Akiva.

Be aware, that even if your aren’t eligible for Akiva, we may have other options for you using grants from other foundations. So feel free to contact us via email if you have not been accepted on regular Akiva.
