From Tragedy to Hope

Scholarships for Students from Southern Israel

Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael – Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) has launched a project to support college students who have endured the horrors of the October 7th attacks in the south, paving the way for their bright future as well as that of Israel’s society.

The horrendous October 7th attacks on the Israeli communities surrounding the Gaza Strip have left tens of thousands of survivors in deep trauma, driven from their homes, and torn away from their lives. Each survivor is now forced to cope with this new reality’s many challenges. Some have lost their jobs; others were forced to find new schools; many are homeless.

 

Resilience Amidst Adversity

 

College students in the first important stages of their career-building are at a risk of missing the academic year, atop the many other new obstacles they are enduring. However, in the face of this adversity, there is an unyielding Israeli spirit that defines the individuals who have endured unimaginable challenges. The scars of terror attacks run deep, but so do the strength and determination of these Israelis who have decided to carry on with life.

 

Empowering for a Brighter Future

 

KKL-JNF has launched a program that is designed to recognize and support the incredible resilience of 1,671 Israeli students from the south who have faced the unthinkable. The program is intended for students from area surrounding the Gaza Strip who live up to 7 km from the border. The program is supervised and is being conducted in cooperation with the academic institutions.

 

By providing scholarships, we aim to foster a sense of hope, empower academic pursuits, and pave the way for a brighter future.

Your contribution will directly fund scholarships that enable survivors of the terror attacks to pursue higher education.

 

By investing in their academic journey, you are not just supporting individuals but sowing the seeds for a stronger Israeli society. Your financial support will directly fuel the dreams of resilient young Israelis striving for academic excellence and a better future.

 

KKL-JNF invites you to join us and become a beacon of hope for those who inspire us with their strength. Together, let’s transform lives through education, ensuring Israel’s bright future is even brighter!
