Applications will only be accepted from students seeking to study at institutions having a positive attitude to Medinat Yisrael.

You will need to tell your referees to complete their referrals  on line on the Referee Tab on this website.  The referees must complete their referrals prior to 25th July 2025 or your application will not be further considered.

 

​An important aspect of the Award is service to the Melbourne community upon the return home of the successful applicant.
