We create opportunities

We are committed to bridging the gap between a challenging past and a promising future. Since 2009, the Moshal Program has been dedicated to enabling individuals to transform their lives through higher education.

We are a social transformation organization which provides opportunities to promising individuals, and then supports them as they overcome their unique challenges and build prosperous futures for themselves.

The Moshal Program is about more than providing funding to study or helping financially disadvantaged young people gain access to higher education: it focuses on those who would not have access to such opportunities, but Moshal scholars are selected for their potential, which shines through.

The Moshal Alumni

A powerful community

The Moshal Program is proud to have 1,000 alumni from Israel and South Africa, with 300 new graduates joining this growing community each year.

The essence of the alumni community is that it provides mutual support and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Having all experienced the special nurturing of the program, the alumni enjoy a unique bond that transcends borders and backgrounds.

Constant learning and development

Moshal continues to be a part of the alumni’s lives, as we accompany them on their paths after they complete their studies and for years to come. In Israel, our mentoring program, in collaboration with Migdalor – the Israeli naval academy alumni association, offers alumni at various stages of their careers an opportunity to benefit from the guidance and counsel of professional leaders in diverse industries.

Role models for young people from similar backgrounds

Globally, our alumni also head diverse socially-oriented projects that are propelled by the vision of creating social leadership and paying forward all the insights and capabilities they acquired throughout their Moshal journey.
