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.
A generous contribution of NIS 624,000 will cover tuition (estimated at NIS 192,000) and living stipends (estimated at NIS 432,000) for two Ethiopian students over their six-year medical school program .
