The Hebrew
University of Jerusalem is offering full scholarships in any field of study to
all released hostages, the school announced on Sunday.
The university is
offering full scholarships for a three-year academic degree—covering both
bachelor’s and master’s programs—to all captives freed from Gaza, along with a
dedicated fund to ensure children who were held hostage can access higher
education in the future.
A bachelor’s degree
in Israel normally requires three years of full-time study.
The initiative
includes personalized academic guidance, psychological support, and career
counseling, aiming to provide a foundation for their recovery and
reintegration.
The program is
designed to serve as a cornerstone for these individuals’ return to normalcy,
equipping them with the tools to achieve their personal and professional
aspirations.
“We are committed to
standing by all who experienced the horrors of October 7 and the prolonged
captivity under Hamas. It is our responsibility to support them in every way
possible,” said Professor Tamir Sheafer, rector of the Hebrew University.
“We aim to help them
rebuild a hopeful future and provide a solid anchor in their long
rehabilitation journey. As Israel’s leading academic institution, we believe in
the transformative power of higher education and its potential to drive
personal and societal change. This initiative reflects our deep ethical and
social commitment,” Sheafer said.
