YOUR GIFT TO THE WORLD

When you give to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, you are giving to an institution that helps mankind through innovative break throughs, groundbreaking research, and inventive products that impact people's lives every day.

The ways in which you can give to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem are virtually limitless. Whether it be through our tribute cards and certificates designed to recognize special occasions or mark life-cycles, or by making an outrigh gift, your contribution helps to fund a project.

The most common way to commemorate and cherish the memory of loved ones is by establishing an Endowment fund at the university for scholarships or research.
Each year, the university takes the fruits of the fund and distributes them through scholarships to graduate students in one of the fields of research chosen by the donor.

The name of the scholarship is determined with the donor so that each year the students who are eligible for the scholarship also receive a threshold with an explanation of the scholarship and the name of the person after whom the scholarship is named.

For example, if the fund is $ 250,000, each year it will generate a return of $ 5,850 that will be transferred to the student as a partial scholarship.

It is also possible to establish an Expendable Fund, that usually distributes more significant scholarships for students. The “Length of Life” of the fund is determined according to the amount that the donor requests to distribute each year. Typically, these funds make a greater impact, as they allow the student to receive a full scholarship to study and concentrate his or her research efforts.

For example, a $ 250,000 Extendable Fund allows for a full scholarship to a doctoral student in neuroscience (for example), in the amount of $ 25,000 per year for a period of 10 years (total - for two students).

The minimum amount for establishing scholarships is $ 100,000, and of course the fund may be increased at any time through additional donations.

For every donation of over $ 100,000, the University will also engrave the name of the donor on its Wall of Life as part of a special ceremony to be held during the Board of Trustees.
