Admission decisions for the Nativ program are made by a joint committee of Nativ and Hebrew University, Conservative Yeshiva, or Ulpan Milah personnel.
Candidates are evaluated by this committee based upon their academic qualifications, their leadership ability, and their commitment to the principles for which Nativ stands. Participants are also expected to be able to cope with the demands of living in a foreign country as well as the responsibilities of both individual and group work.
