Jerusalem Scholarship Fund for Higher Education

The fund reflects the breadth of Jerusalem’s academic landscape. Scholarships are awarded to students in universities, academic colleges, preparatory programs, and specialized institutions, including advanced schools of the arts alongside engineering and technical fields. This wide reach ensures that support is not limited to a single track or population, but extends across disciplines and backgrounds, mirroring the diversity of the city itself. Over the past decade, the Foundation has steadily expanded the program’s scale and impact, with tens of thousands of scholarships distributed, an achievement that speaks both to the demand for such support and to the Foundation’s capacity to meet it.

For many participants, these years are formative. Whether they are lifelong Jerusalem residents or newcomers, their experience of the city during this period often shapes the decisions that follow. By helping to create a stable and meaningful student experience, the scholarship fund plays a quiet but decisive role in how Jerusalem is remembered and reimagined by those who pass through it. When the question of what comes next arises, the city is not simply where they studied, but a place in which they have already invested time, relationships, and purpose.
