David,
Much success to you.
I take it you will be going to university first, and then moving to the Golan.
The "Orthodox" university closest to the Golan is Bar Ilan, a good several hours away.
You will have to do "mechinah" {a preparatory semester} first, past a Hebrew requirement {eventually}, get an IDF deferment, take admissions tests, and get accepted into your major course of study.
I'm not sure if you had another college in mind.
Anyway, there's lot's to say....
I have heard good things about Nefesh b'Nefesh, but make sure you contact veteran olim, like myself, so that you can be informed of the "fine print."
I have been here almost 12 years, have lived all over, and have learned a lot the hard way. Mostly, I have found that new immigrants from North America get the most help from veteran North American immigrants.
I am happy to answer your questions. Maybe you'll want to make a pilgrimage to Tapu'ah when you get here, too.
