Greetings from Our Chairman

SOUGHT-AFTER

Israel's young people agree with us -- by a wide margin.

We American Friends have always known that Tel Aviv University provides the finest education in the country. Now, a Ha'aretz survey published in January confirms that Israel's student applicants think so, too.

Tel Aviv University is the top choice of 1 in 3 students, a full 10% higher than any other institution of higher learning. It's the most highly sought-after, they said, because of TAU's prestige, quality of faculty, and wide availability of programs.

The survey also revealed that one in six applicants will need scholarship help to finance their studies. And that's where we can continue to have a real impact.

Your support opens the door to TAU's research, scholarship, and real-world influence for Israel's most promising young minds -- access that might be otherwise denied. Please make a gift today and open the door for tomorrow's leaders.
