Scholarships

The university offers exclusive scholarships for Haredi students. A full list of available scholarships can be found on the university’s Scholarships Portal. 

Academic Support 

The Unit’s "Learning Communities" program provides academic guidance to promote excellence among students. Support is provided through tutoring sessions by experienced students who have successfully completed the relevant courses with high grades. 

Tutoring is available for specific courses upon request and can also include one-on-one English language support. In addition to academic content, tutors help students adjust to the specific learning methods of their department. Therefore, we make every effort to assign a tutor from the same department as the student. 

How to apply: 
Students can submit a tutoring request throughout the academic year via this form. Early application (at the start of the semester) is recommended. 

In addition, during the exam period, the Student Union organizes intensive “marathon” study sessions which may be eligible for funding, subject to coordination with unit coordinators (contact details provided below). 

 

Subsidized Psychological Services 

The Dean of Students’ Psychological Services provides support for students facing emotional difficulties or crisis situations. The service includes individual counseling for stress, anxiety, and other personal challenges. The Equal Opportunities Unit partially subsidizes these sessions, alongside a student co-payment. 

How to Apply: 

  • Mention in your request that you are eligible for support from the Equal Opportunities Unit. 

  • Students using this service must sign a confidentiality waiver, which serves strictly as a payment authorization and does not disclose treatment details. 

Subsidized Learning Disability Assessments 

The Dean of Students’ Unit for Assessment and Support for Students with Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders offers assessments for students experiencing learning difficulties that may stem from learning disabilities and attention disorders. 

Financial Assistance: 
A subsidy of up to 1,500 NIS is available for eligible students.
