Emergency Fund for Reservist Students

Empowering Israel’s Future Innovators During Wartime

Even now, over a year since the war began and reserve duty rates that are still unprecedentedly high, the need for your support remains critical.

The ongoing conflict of the Iron Swords War has greatly impacted Israel's higher education system. At Afeka College, over 44% of our student body have been drafted into military reserves since the fighting began. This is the highest mobilization rate among all Israeli academic institutions.

As the event has unfolded into a long-lasting crisis with far-reaching consequences, we are preparing for the possibility that high military reserve draft rates will remain a reality for the foreseeable future. Consequently, the need for ongoing support is as urgent as ever, both now and throughout the current academic year.

With the start of the conflict and the understanding of the scope of impact on our student body, Afeka immediately developed a comprehensive support package tailored to the diverse needs of our students. Key components included transitioning to a flexible hybrid teaching model, repeating courses throughout the year, providing academic advising and mentoring, increasing scholarship funding, and offering individual and group mental health counseling. The support package continues to evolve as student needs change and the situation in Israel develops.

Through everything, we aim to maintain academic standards while providing students the assistance necessary to graduate on time and contribute to Israel's crucially important high-tech sector, where Afeka plays a key role by producing 10% of the country's new engineers annually. With each engineer contributing an estimated $250K to Israel's annual GDP, the impact of Afeka alumni on the countries economic growth is powerful.

As a public academic institution, our existing budget is designed for times of peace and routine needs and is not equipped to meet the significant demands that have arisen due to the war. Afeka has already committed ₪5 million from internal sources. With your support, we in the process of raising an additional ₪5 million to meet all the wartime needs of all our students.
