Travel Grants

 

The Authority for Research Students offers Travel Grants in order to support  participation of Ph.D. students in scientific conferences to present their research, while still in process, or to stay abroad for a short period in order to gather data necessary for their research, to visit a specific archive or library or to learn how to use a unique instrument or acquire a specific skill -  tasks that cannot be performed in Israel.

The grants are given to Ph.D. students already in stage B, but not later than during their 5th year of studies towards the Ph.D.

Requests for travel grants from students who have already submitted their thesis for evaluation (in the non-experimental sciences) will not be considered by the committee.

Travel grants are not awarded more than once during PhD studies.

The travel grants are given in order to help you fulfill the travel, yet they do not necessarily cover all the expenses involved.

The travel grant amount is determined based on the travel destination. Starting in February 2025, the grant for students heading to Europe is 3,700 NIS, for western United States is 6,200 NIS. Please note that these amounts are subject to change based on budgetary possibilities.
