Joining an NBN Aliyah flight is an incredible, once in a lifetime experience where you make Aliyah together with a planeload of olim, all of whom are fulfilling their dream of Aliyah. In addition, your Aliyah paperwork is processed en route, thus greatly reducing the bureaucracy. We urge you to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

Please note that the next round of available funding will be for those who choose to join a Nefesh B'Nefesh flight or make Aliyah during "Student Week", and whose grant application is accepted by the NBN Review Committee. For those of you who cannot join a flight or make Aliyah during "Student Week", you may submit an application for Nefesh B'Nefesh employment and other support services**.

Those applicants requesting non-financial assistance (services only) are encouraged to join an NBN flight for the expedited processing benefits, however they may also make their own flight arrangements at any time and avail themselves of our services.

Please note that priority for funding and placement on one's flight of choice will be given to those applicants that submit a complete application by the original deadline. Applications must be received and approved by Nefesh B'Nefesh prior to making Aliyah in order to be eligible for assistance. Financial assistance is awarded for the calendar year in which you originally apply to make Aliyah, and does not automatically carry over into subsequent calendar years.

If you have any questions about our application process, please contact us at 0800-075-7200.

**If you have extenuating circumstances that prevent you from joining a Nefesh B'Nefesh flight or making Aliyah during "Student Week", and you believe that you qualify for financial assistance, please e-mail Doreet Freedman, Director of Pre-Aliyah, at doreet@nbn.org.il. Each request will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, depending on the circumstances.
