Thanks to the scholarship, I can afford to be a full-time researcher working on my PhD. Without this support, I would never have become a doctoral student.
This year, as we celebrate Rosh Hashana, I’d like to invite you to be a part of the next big idea. Your generous gift today will help researchers achieve their maximum potential while also strengthening Israel’s global impact and the future of the Jewish people. As you know, Israel has become an oasis of technological discovery, innovation and entrepreneurship. Pioneering work in areas as diverse as medicine, national security, education and film are now a hallmark of Israeli society. At the centre of all this is Tel Aviv University — and extraordinary minds like Avraham Dayan’s.

With support for scholarships from Canadian friends like you, Tel Aviv University can continue to excel in research and community leadership as it finds ways to help solve universal problems.
Dayan, a married father of three, dreamt from a young age of becoming a researcher and inventor. By the time he left high school, he was an award-wining young scientist. Today, his goal is nothing less than to find new and better ways to treat cancer — and his latest project is showing promising anti-malignancy activity in cell cultures. please see over...
