Providing Scholarships and Fellowships

Providing Scholarships and Fellowships

Providing scholarship aid to deserving students is a top priority. Scholarship assistance enables promising students with acute financial need to excel and achieve their professional goals. 

There are many reasons why scholarships are badly needed. Thousands of Hebrew University students come from outside Jerusalem in order to study. Older than their US counterparts due to their military service, many have young families to support while pursuing advanced degrees. Scholarship support may help toward students’ payment of tuition and educational expenses and help to defray their living expenses.  Diverse giving opportunities exist for donors to make a difference in the lives of undergraduate students.

Philanthropists may alternatively choose to foster the intellectual achievements of Hebrew University master’s and Ph.D. candidates, many of whom pursue groundbreaking research in fields ranging from biomedicine to Jewish Studies. Mentored by eminent faculty, graduate students help to develop new treatments for many types of diseases. They are unraveling the brain’s mysteries, finding solutions to environmental problems and working on projects that build bridges to peace regionally and internationally. By providing support for graduate students, American Friends can help The Hebrew University to produce Israel’s leaders in every field of endeavor.
