$200 refundable deposit is required at the time of applying.

If accepted into the program, the deposit will be applied toward the total cost of the trip, and a payment plan for the remaining balance will be established. Additional payment information will be provided upon acceptance.

The 2027 March of the Living total fee will be $7,895. As a result of the generosity of Jewish Federation of Broward County, its dedicated donors and supporters of the March of the Living Endowment Fund, each participant is receiving a significant subsidy, which is already reflected in the cost of the trip.

As part of the application process, you will be asked to submit a short essay:

• Why you would like to participate in the March of the Living, or what do you hope to gain from this experience.

You will also need to upload:

• A copy of the front and back of your health insurance card

• A copy of the photo/information page of your passport

Your passport must be valid through November 30, 2027 or later. If you do not have a passport or need to renew it, please begin that process.

We anticipate a large number of applicants and have a limited number of spaces available. Once we receive your completed application, deposit, and medical form, we will schedule your interview.

Participants will be accepted on a rolling basis, so submitting a complete application package as early as possible is strongly encouraged.

Financial Assistance

Need-based financial assistance is available. Applications for financial assistance can be found here. Please contact me with any questions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT AP EXAMS

AP testing does not prevent students from participating in the March of the Living. The 2027 AP Exam schedule overlaps with the March; however, late AP testing is scheduled for May 17–21, 2027, following our anticipated return.

Students traveling on the March who will miss regularly scheduled AP Exams can work with their school’s AP coordinator to arrange late testing. We navigate AP exams and other senior-year academic conflicts with families every year and encourage students not to let AP testing prevent them from applying.

The sites highlighted are some of the destinations we will visit during our March of the Living 2027 journey through Poland and Israel. These locations tell a story of remembrance, resilience, and renewal. From Auschwitz-Birkenau on Yom HaShoah to Jerusalem for Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut, participants will honor the past, celebrate the present, and strengthen their connection to the Jewish people and Israel.

Please Note: The itinerary is subject to change due to various circumstances. We will do our best to maintain the integrity and spirit of the experience while ensuring a smooth and safe journey for all participants.
