Financial Aid

UHL is pleased to offer a limited amount of financial aid to qualifying students in the form of scholarships, fellowships, tuition grants and work-study programs. Interested students should request a financial aid application from the Admissions Office by sending an email at info@uhl.ac and return the completed application to the Office of the Dean at info@uhl.ac at the earliest opportunity.

Degree candidates with specialized teaching and/or research skills and experience may be eligible for fellowship appointments in teaching and/or research. Fellows receive financial aid in the form of tuition grants and/or a small stipend. Fellows should anticipate that their appointment(s) would involve an obligation of approximately 20 hours per week.

Additional Financial Information

-The semester fee is halved for students who have completed the standard degree course requirements and have only the completion of their thesis remaining. Such students are required to be enrolled in a directed study on their thesis topic and to participate in a graduate or doctoral seminar each semester until graduation. In addition, they are eligible to take an elective course. For further information, see the Schedule of Fees.

-Due to current economic trends and escalating costs, it must be anticipated that the University of the Holy Land may be required to raise its fees annually, or at least intermittently. All fee adjustments are approached with the utmost consideration for the prospective student.

-All fees are payable in US dollars or Israeli shekels. Payment of fees is due each semester by the first day of class. All fees must be paid prior to enrollment in subsequent terms of study.

-We understand that situations beyond the student’s control can occasionally necessitate early withdrawal from UHL. In such an event, tuition fees will be refunded according to the table below. All refunds are contingent upon the student’s full compliance with official withdrawal procedures.

Individuals needing to make a payment can choose between two options:

Personal check: (This is often the easiest and most commonly selected option by students)

• If you are in the area, stop by our offices in Tantur any time during normal operating hours and you may hand deliver the check.
• Or, if you are overseas and/or wish to mail your check, please make out your check to “The University of the Holy Land”, in U.S. dollars, and mail it to: UHL at POB 24084, Mt. Scopus, Jerusalem 91240, Israel.
