The academic year 2022/23 is in full swing and Maavarim's Scholarship
For many of us on the trans spectrum, higher education is a distant dream that is very difficult to fulfill. Higher education is not everything, but it is often our entry ticket into the job market - our opportunity to reach significant places and centers of power and influence, to fulfill ourselves, to increase our abilities and to affect change.
The Maavarim Scholarship Project, in its seventh year - gives students on the trans spectrum this opportunity!
A scholarship is a critical response economic barriers and can give a transgender student the ability to acquire a bachelor's degree and contribute to their success in the labor market, thereby making a positive change in our economy and society as a whole, as well as helping them realize personal potential and prosperity.
As part of the NIS 10,000 scholarship, the scholarship recipients dedicate 100 annual hours of volunteering for the trans community.
Any donation can be the difference between starting school this year and postponing it - maybe forever.
The clock is starting to run and we only have two weeks to raise at least 150,000 shekels, for 15 scholarships for students on the trans spectrum. Give now!
The integration of students on the trans spectrum in academia will encourage academic discourse and research about this community - thus providing critical tools for advancing trans rights. The entry of people on the trans spectrum into academic and professional spaces makes these spaces more gender diverse, thus strengthening society as a whole. We need your help - donate as much as you can, tell your friends, family and acquaintances and share on social media.
