Payment:
1. The person responsible for payment is personally responsible for payment regardless of whether the student receives any kind of funding or subsidy.

3. If your Masa grant does not completely cover the tuition, you are responsible to cover the rest of the tuition. You may request a waiver for the rest of the tuition in writing. Compuskills/Mesilot does not guarantee the waiver of the rest of the tuition; however, Compuskills/Mesilot often gives this waiver to students in good standing.
4. Payment of the total due must be made before the program begins: Registration fee is non-refundable and non- transferrable. Students paying with foreign currency must pay the percentage and/or fees necessary to exchange the money. Additionally if the shekel drops, price adjustments may need to be made at the end of the course.
5. Any tuition or fees that are not covered by MASA must be paid directly to Compuskills/Mesilot before the start of the program.
