Program Overview
The United States-Israel Educational Foundation and the Israel Police are expecting to send one policeman/policewoman to the MA program at the City University of New York's John Jay College. As a program fellow, the selected policeman/policewoman will take a year-long paid leave for the duration of the academic year 2019/20 for the purpose of attaining a master's degree in criminal justice, while receiving full tuition coverage and a basic sum for living expenses.

Following the interviewing stage by the selection committee, the selected nominee will work closely with the USIEF and EducationUSA, to submit a complete application to both John Jay's master's program in criminal justice and the Fulbright Program. The application dossier will include a resume, recommendation letters, transcripts, diplomas and a TOEFL score report.
