TAU’s Uniform to University Scholarship Fund
When duty called, they came. Now, it’s up to us to help them return to class and become the bright future of Israel.
Over 6,600 Tel Aviv University students have been called to serve in the reserves and will need to transition back to the studies and lives they put on hold to defend their country. We must ensure that our returning students, our heroes, have the academic and financial assistance they need to succeed in their studies and fulfill their dreams. Help our students follow their true calling to become the professionals, scientists, and leaders of Israel’s future.
They risked their lives for us. Donate today to give back to them.

Gil
Age: 32
Rank: Sergeant First Class
Military role: Combat soldier in Yahalom–Special Operations Engineering Unit
Studies: MD + PhD
Calling: Doctor & cancer researcherAt the start of the war, Gil was urgently drafted to Gaza where he served with his unit for 40 days. They searched for, scanned and destroyed tunnels, bombed suspicious sites, dismantled explosives, and gathered intelligence – all under missile attacks and enemy gunfire.
“More happened in three days of war than my entire three-and-a-half years of regular IDF service,” Gil says.
Gil recounts that during missions, he thought about his family, his friends, his academic and medical pursuits and everything that he was defending. He believes Israel is strong and resilient, and looks forward to serving his country in another way – as a physician-scientist.
