The Ayalim Association has opened registration for the new academic year and announced that several of its student villages still have available spots.
The organization is offering increased financial incentives in areas that were significantly affected by the ongoing war in Gaza, particularly in the southern city of Sderot and the northern city of Kiryat Shmona.
One of the new initiatives includes a student village in Metula, where participants will receive a combined annual scholarship of NIS 20,000.
Students may choose to live in the planned Beit Ha’ikhrim complex or reside independently in Metula while remaining active in the village community.
In Kiryat Shmona, students accepted into the village program will be granted free housing and a yearly scholarship of NIS 20,000. Those who live in the city but not in the village itself may receive NIS 15,000.
Additional scholarships for students in areas impacted by war
In Karmiel and Dimona, the Ayalim villages offer free accommodation along with an annual grant of NIS 13,000. Local students not residing in the village are eligible for a reduced scholarship of NIS 10,000.
Meanwhile, in Acre, a scholarship of NIS 15,000 is available to students connected to the Rimon School branch. Those from the Menachem Begin, Neve Alon, and city center neighborhoods can receive NIS 10,000.
