The fellowship is for one or two years of study at The Rothberg International School of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The foundation provides fellowships of $10,000 per year for U.S. citizens who are college graduates to study at the prestigious Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Candidates must be U.S. citizens under age 30 at the time application and should have studied in the fields of military studies, economic geography, international relations, political science, or history. In addition, they must have career goals in the armed services, diplomatic corps, international relations, or government or public service. Recent college graduates (including those who will receive their undergraduate degree by May of the current year) and students currently enrolled in graduate programs are encouraged to apply.

The purpose of this fellowship is to provide future U.S. leaders considering military or government service an opportunity to learn first-hand about the unique relationship between the U.S. and Israel, to master regional politics, culture, and security affairs, and to study foreign languages.
