ISEF - Israel Scholarship Education Foundation

ISEF means equal access to higher education for Israel’s underserved communities. In the global knowledge economy, Israel needs to nurture its most important natural resource – the minds of its young people. ISEF is a leader in human capital development, which it sees as the key to a securing Israel's future. Since 1977, many thousands of extraordinary young Israelis from underserved backgrounds have earned degrees from BA to PhD and postdoc thanks to ISEF’s support and become key players in Israel’s economy and society. Many organizations support university scholarships in Israel. ISEF is much more than a scholarship grantor. * Emphasis on Excellence. ISEF selects students with high potential, then provides leadership training seminars and community service programs to give them the skills they need to maximize that potential. * Long-Term Commitment. ISEF's support takes each student from day one to graduation and beyond - Master’s, Ph.D., even postdoc. No other organization does this. * Support Systems that Work. ISEF nurtures its scholars and meets their personal needs. Thanks to ISEF’s on-campus network of assistance, over 95% of ISEF’s scholars finish their studies and earn their degrees. * Impact on the Larger Community. ISEF scholars carry the “Yes I Can” message to over 3,000 at-risk teens, mentoring them so they can finish high school and qualify for higher education.
