Who It's For

Exceptional by design

Beresheet is for exceptional Jewish high-school seniors and university graduates with extraordinary STEM potential.

If you are the kind of student who has already pushed past what your classroom could teach you — in mathematics, physics, or computer science — and you are ready to bring that ability into the heart of Israel's technological leadership, Beresheet was built for you.

Selection Process

One of the most selective fellowships in the Jewish world

The selection process includes multiple evaluation stages assessing scientific ability, leadership potential, creativity, and commitment to impact. Each year the program expects to select only a small cohort from thousands of candidates.
