VS.

Think the logos and websites are confusing? Just wait till you start talking to the offices.

Someone requested that I cover this topic so here’s all I know on the subject of Misrad HaKlita(absorption) vs. Misrad HaStudentim (student authority) . Please verify the information with the right office, as the info changes all the time (naturally).

Misrad HaKlita – course route
You need to be:

• under 30
• made aliyah less than 3 years ago
• they’ll give you up to 10,000 shekels of the cost of your course. (I’m currently taking a graphic design course at John Bryce, and this is how much they gave me)

Misrad HaStudentim – University route
I am not as familiar with their terms, but it is also under 30 to start. I think it’s mostly for Hebrew programs, but you’d have to check.

Address: 15 Hillel St, Downtown Jerusalem.
