Project #16591

Increasing professional human capital in the periphery

Scholarships for High-Tech Studies in the Galilee

KKL-JNF invites you to take part in an important and meaningful project and requests your

generous support in the amount of NIS 625,000, which will provide 100 scholarships for

undergraduate high-tech and engineering students in the Galilee. Your contribution will help

close the social, economic and academic gaps between the central and peripheral regions and

will strengthen the human capital in the Galilee for the sake of Israel's future generations.

Your donation will be matched—shekel for shekel—by KKL-JNF in Israel and participating

authorities, institutions or investors.

About the Project

KKL-JNF will distribute scholarships for the 2019-2020 academic year to one hundred

students enrolled in high-tech programs at institutions of higher learning in Israel's northern

district with the intention that they continue to live and work in high-tech industries in the

Galilee upon graduation. The scholarships will be awarded to computer science and

engineering students in their final academic year.

Project Details

In the context of initiating projects to strengthen the periphery, KKL-JNF aspires to attract

undergraduates in the field of high-tech — engineering and computer sciences — to the

Galilee and allocate 100 scholarship for their last year of studies at institutions of higher

learning, including Braude College, Tel Hai College, Kinneret College, Jezreel Valley College and

Tzfat College. Scholarship recipients will have committed to remaining in the periphery for at

least one year following graduation and working in the regions' high-tech companies.

Donors will receive appropriate recognition.

Project #16591

Background

This project is part of the comprehensive KKL-JNF 2040 plan, whose goal is to attract one million

people to the Negev and half a million people to the Galilee, by developing growth engines: high-tech

industries, housing infrastructure, institutions and programs for innovative higher education, tourism

infrastructure, and landscape, leisure and recreation environments for quality of life and mobilizing

government and businesses to participate.

The scholarship program is designed to induce high-tech students to study in the Galilee and, following

graduation, continue to live in the northern periphery. Quality high-tech professionals will then be

available for employment, further serving as a catalyst for establishing high-tech industries and

opening branches in the Galilee.

Location

At five institutions of higher learning in the Galilee: Braude College, Tel Hai College, Kinneret College,

Jezreel Valley College and Tzfat College.
