Scholarships — what was checked, and what was removed in Jerusalem
The seven "lesser-known scholarships" published here were removed — four of the six domains cited are not registered at all. The real route: the Marom scholarship and your institution's financial-aid unit.
About Jerusalem
Jerusalem, Israel's capital, hosts a large Israeli-Ethiopian community concentrated historically in the Gondar neighbourhood in the north and with significant presence in Kiryat HaYovel and other areas. The city is home to the Centre for Ethiopian Jewish Heritage and several traditional synagogues led by kessim, alongside a broad housing market.
What happened to this page
This page listed seven "lesser-known scholarship sources" with precise amounts. All of them were removed. Four of the six domains cited here are not registered at all — never registered, not merely moved — and the phone number published here belongs to none of the organisations. Genuine content decays into stale addresses; it does not decay into domains that never existed.
Checked one by one: JDC-Ashalim runs no such scholarship (its remit is at-risk youth aged 0-25); Keren Shalem funds local authorities for disability services and awards no personal scholarships; TAU's real programme is "מצטייני פריפריה" and it requires about 90 hours of community involvement a year, the opposite of what was written here; the Menachem Begin Heritage Center is a museum and archive with no scholarship programme; KKL supports students through named donor funds, not a "development scholarship"; and no organisation matching "Penina — Bracha Fund" was found. The closing advice — that institutional scholarships are unpublished and you should ask a "social referent" — is wrong on both counts, and steered readers away from the real route.
Where to actually start
- The Marom scholarship (CHE/VATAT), within the "בדרך לפסגה" programme — registration runs through PERACH. See Marom scholarship.
- The financial-aid unit of your institution's dean of students, where institutional and external scholarships are listed — and they are published.
- The site's own list: scholarships.
