They left an entire world behind, but not their future.

This year, Hillel received 800 scholarship applications, a dramatic 45% surge from last year. In the upcoming academic year, over 1,000 students who left the Ultra-Orthodox community will be supported as scholarship recipients. While this growth is deeply inspiring, it also presents a significant challenge: a single scholarship can completely transform a student's starting line, granting an equal opportunity to pursue higher education and build a secure future. To ensure no one is left behind, I invite each and every one of us to step up as ambassadors for this critical mission.
