Hi, my name is Nellie and I'm from Malawi. Got accepted to study BA in psychology at Reichmann International University. I was supposed to have started this year in October but I applied for a scholarship a bit late so the processing was taking a bit too long to get approved and on top of that the scholarship is subjective so I wasn't really able to know how much I was to receive. So I applied for deferred studies for the next academic year and I wanted to know if there are any organisations, private foundations or private companies that offer sponsorship to students from Africa studying in Israel. I actually do not mind working in exchange for the sponsorship. Let me know if at all there are those kind of options. And you might be wondering why I haven't considered help from organisations from my country, I have but I haven't had any luck. Most of them give out sponsorships but to specific schools or specific countries in which you will be studying in, so I can say I don't have many options at hand.

Fellowships and Grants for International Students
Hello Nellie,
Unfortunately, I do not know of any fellowships that are specific for students from Africa (apart from Telfed scholarships which are not suitable for students from Malawi, but from South Africa). However, you can find other fellowships and grants suitable for international students, such as MASA grants, offered by the organization MASA and the Jewish Agency. In addition, as far as I know, Reichmann University offers both merit-based and needs-based scholarships to students at the international school. I would advise you to inquire about this matter at the financial aid office at the university.
