AmericanScholarship - Update on Scholarships in America

The purpose of the Anna Sobol Levy Fellowship is to enhance and strengthen the unique relationship between the United States and Israel by establishing genuine understanding and communication between future leaders of the two countries. Sponsored by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, this fellowship—in the amount of $10,000—assists American students in attending the Rothberg International School of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem in a graduate-level program. Recent college graduates (including those who will receive their undergraduate degree in spring of the preceding year), students currently enrolled in graduate programs, and those wishing to apply to an M.A. program at the Hebrew University are encouraged to apply. Recipients of the fellowships will be expected to participate in briefings and visits to the Israeli military bases arranged by the project officer assigned by the Israel Defense Forces officer corps and will have a private tutorial with a senior faculty member of the Hebrew University.

Candidates should have studied in the fields of military studies, economic geography, international relations, political science, or history. In addition, they must have career goals in the following areas: armed services, diplomatic corps, government, public service, or related professions. Candidates must be citizens of the United States no older than 30 at the time of application. The award of these fellowships is based solely upon scholastic excellence, character, ability, and promise, without regard to race, creed, sex, or religious affiliation.
