Overview
The Anglo-Israel Association annually awards a limited number of travel scholarships to Israel. The Scholarship is in memory of its Founder, the late Brigadier Sir Wyndham Deedes, CMG, DSO who served as Chief Secretary to the British Mandatory Government of Palestine.
Details
The objective of the awards is to enable graduates of British universities, who are normally resident in the UK to make an intensive study of some aspect, (sociological, scientific, cultural, economic, etc.) of life in Israel. The study should be in an area that would be of direct interest to those working in that field in the UK.
