Scholarships for Higher Education: We have now reached the point where a significant number of our graduates possess both the aspirations and the skills needed to embark upon higher education at university or college.

All Bet Shemesh graduates who are admitted to an accredited college or university and apply for a scholarship are guaranteed a scholarship.
