Meytal's Story: “My name is Meytal and thanks to Na'amat, I have a university degree in Electrical Engineering. I chose this field of study for many reasons, but as a woman in Israel, I wanted to have a practical degree that would enable me to exercise my rights and independence. I still remember the first day of my studies: I entered the classroom and took my seat. As I got myself organized, I glanced around the classroom to see how many young women decided to join me in this learning experience. To my surprise, I discovered that I was the only woman in the class. All eyes were on me, questioning, 'Aren't you in the wrong room?' I want to thank Na'amat very much for the scholarship, the support, and the knowledge that I am not alone—that there is hope for women in our country."

Perpetual Scholarship Program: Na'amat's Perpetual Scholarship program awards nearly 200 university scholarships to Israeli women students each year. By doing so, these women of merit gain the opportunity to attend institutions of higher learning and complete their Bachelor and Masters degrees. The criterion for selection ensures that qualifying women from all of Israel's social centres are fairly represented. Na'amat also awards four annual research grants that help women to successfully pursue their PhDs. Na'amat scholarships offer recipients the skills and education they need to escape poverty, enter promising careers and make their mark on Israeli society. We believe that through this important program we contribute to the advancement and empowerment of the future generation of women and create role models that our Founding Mothers would be proud of.
