  • Bachelor’s · New students, Academic excellence

Who can apply

For graduates of religious-Zionist frameworks: hesder yeshiva, Torah pre-military academies, Torah midrasha, or yeshiva gvoha with IDF enlistment.

It goes only to admitted students who registered courses by the opening of the academic year. University tuition scholarships cannot be combined, except for High Institute for Torah students. Stopping studies cancels it. The rate is calculated from the CHE basic bachelor's tuition, and each year's scope and eligible groups depend on available funds.

How to apply

Send the study confirmation to the Admissions Office by the start of the academic year. The office checks it, and eligibility depends on that check.

Details

Documents

An original study confirmation from your institution, with the scope of hours, signature, stamp, and start and end dates. Send it to the Admissions Office by the opening of the academic year; later confirmations are not accepted.

Conditions after the award

The scholarship is funded by the university's friends abroad. Recipients write a personal thank-you letter of half a page to a page, preferably in English.
