Milgapo Offers Scholarships and Key Tips for Israeli Students Ahead of New Academic Year
As the new academic year approaches, many Israeli students are already searching for suitable scholarships. Milgapo, a platform celebrating 10 years of assisting over 615,000 students across more than 100 institutions, has compiled dedicated scholarship pages and important tips to help students secure tens of thousands of shekels in funding. According to Milgapo, part of the National Student Union, tens of thousands of students miss out on scholarships annually due to lack of awareness, early application requirements, or bureaucratic hurdles.
Tal Horev, CEO of Milgapo, explained that the scholarship landscape in Israel has evolved significantly over the past decade, with more scholarships and specialized tracks for different populations. However, application criteria have become more complex, requiring more documents and eligibility checks. To address these challenges, Milgapo Premium offers digital tools that streamline the application process, including personalized scholarship lists, automatic submissions, personal guidance, and document collection assistance.
Milgapo highlights several attractive scholarship categories: scholarships without volunteer requirements, for bachelor's and master's degrees, for discharged soldiers, residents of peripheral areas, and engineering studies. They also provide three crucial tips: first, carefully check eligibility criteria to avoid wasting time on unsuitable scholarships; second, meticulously prepare and submit all required documents in the exact formats demanded, as missing or incorrect paperwork can lead to automatic disqualification; third, focus on aspects that earn points in the evaluation, such as military reserve service, social activities, socioeconomic status, or specific achievements, and tailor applications accordingly.
For example, the Mil-GO scholarship offers up to 12,480 shekels to first-degree, preparatory, or engineering students without volunteer obligations but requires precise documentation. Milgapo Premium also offers detailed personal explanations for each scholarship to maximize students' chances, such as guidance on relevant fields of study and how to write personal statements for the Atidim scholarship for industry and high-tech sectors.
Students are encouraged to utilize these resources and tips to improve their scholarship application success as they prepare for the upcoming academic year.
