ISEF's mission

Empower extraordinary young Israelis from underserved backgrounds to reach their highest potential, igniting positive change in Israeli society.

ISEF’s programs develop Israel’s untapped human capital—most from families where no one got beyond high school. ISEF’s wraparound support systems ensure that students get their degrees and become role models for the transformative power of higher education.

Just the Facts

Over 95% of our students stay in school and graduate thanks to ISEF's award-winning leadership training and support programs

14% of ISEF's scholars hail from Ethiopian communities—far more than their proportion in Israeli society (1.6%) and at the universities (only 0.5%)

Some 60% of ISEF's scholarship recipients are women--many from communities where few women have gotten a higher education.
