The Medical Scholarship Fund proposal aims to support the inaugural class of the Amir School of Medicine, addressing critical challenges in Israel's healthcare system.

With only 3.3 practicing physicians per 100,000 population, below the OECD average, Israel faces a severe doctor shortage exacerbated by an aging medical workforce and unique demographic pressures.

The new medical school, set to open its doors in October 2025, will focus on cultivating homegrown talent to alleviate this shortage and meet the nation's growing healthcare needs.

Supporting Ethiopian-Israeli medical students with comprehensive financial aid is essential for their success.

Many come from families living below the poverty line, where the high cost of medical school is a significant barrier.

While student loans exist, the looming debt can discourage talented individuals from entering the field.

Once enrolled, the real challenge begins: managing the rigorous demands of medical school while also supporting themselves and their families.

Without solid financial backing, students may be forced to take on additional work, potentially dividing their attention or even causing them to drop out of the program.

By covering both tuition and living expenses, we enable these students to concentrate solely on becoming the skilled, compassionate doctors Israel desperately needs.

Israel’s economy is becoming increasingly knowledge-based – with the second-largest number of startup companies per capital in the world after the United States. The average high-tech career salary is approximately $85,000, almost twice the non-high tech average. With the number of STEM job openings set to grow significantly in the next decade, increasing diversity in STEM fields will be critical for achieving growth, cohesion and equality in our economy and the broader society.
Since its establishment 50 years ago, the University of Haifa, Israel's most pluralistic university, has led efforts to promote the participation of Israeli Arab and Druze young adults in higher education. The majority of Israel’s Arab population lives in northern Israel, where the University of Haifa has developed a reputation for its academically challenging and supportive environment.
We invite you to partner with us by supporting minority and female PhD candidates who demonstrate academic and research excellence in STEM fields.
