About this opportunity

The United States–Israel Educational Foundation (USIEF), known as Fulbright Israel, plans to award up to 7 Master's degree grants to students for the 2026/2027 academic year. This program is designed to pursue a Master's degree at an Israeli institution of higher education. Holders of one Master's degree may apply for a second in a different field than the one they already obtained. The grant provides full tuition coverage for a 9-12 month Master's program at select Israeli universities including Ben Gurion University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, University of Haifa, and Tel Aviv University. Multiple programs are available across diverse fields including archaeology, environmental studies, disaster management, cyber politics, nonprofit management, public health, and more. The program aims to advance knowledge and enhance mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and Israel through graduate education and cultural exchange.
