Since 1986, The Bet Shemesh Educational Center has been an institution set apart from all others. Over the years, BSEC programs have effectively and visibly raised the level of education of previously at-risk children while providing them with the self-confidence and ambition to work towards a better life. Our graduates go on to attend Hesder Yeshivot programs, serve in elite units in the Israel Defense Forces, and continue to complete higher education degrees.

The Rabbi Avi Burstein Scholarship Fund provides varying degrees of financial scholarships to allow socially and economically disadvantaged boys to attend the specialized education program of BSEC. The Fund aims to raise a minimum of $100,000 annually in order to disperse scholarships to at least 70 students, in the range of $500 - $2,000 per student.

The Rabbi Dr. Eliyahu Hartman Hesder Scholarship Fund financially supports BSEC graduates to attend Hesder Yeshivot programs, combining Torah studies with military service in the Israel Defense Forces. An average of 30 students annually receive a partial scholarship that supports them through the 5 year program - allowing the students to fulfill the ideal of full and active participation in the defense of the Israeli people, while still engaging in intense Torah study during their formative years.
|
Scholarships for Higher Education: In order to help these young adults continue on to higher education institutions, BSEC provides them with financial scholarships. Thanks to the generous help of private donors all Bet Shemesh graduates who are admitted to an accredited college or university have access to financial scholarships.
