The goal of the Young Weizmann Scholars Diversity Program is to encourage undergraduate science students affiliated with the following Israeli communities: Arab, Druze, Circassian, Ethiopian Jewry, Ultra-orthodox (חרדים), to explore the opportunity of pursuing graduate studies in Science. Students who grew up in the Israeli geographic or economic periphery (especially first-generation university students in their families) are also welcome to apply.
