JBC Scholarship for Undergraduates in Brain and Cognitive Sciences

 

The JBC Scholarship for Undergraduates

 in Brain & Cognitive Sciences

The Jerusalem Brain Community (JBC) sees great importance in promoting academic excellence and fostering future generations of brain researchers at the Hebrew University. The JBC Undergraduate Scholarship enhances educational goals and promotes the continuation of studies towards a Master’s Degree in brain research, at the Hebrew University. The Scholarship will be awarded to outstanding and gifted undergraduate students in their last year of studies, who are interested in furthering their research using a multi-disciplinary approach to brain sciences. The scholarship provides a unique opportunity for students who are at the beginning of their scientific and professional careers, to devote themselves exclusively to their course work, develop their research skills, maintain academic excellence and finish their degree in a timely manner. The JBC scholarship encourages students to broaden their exposure and increase their scientific interests by conducting research in a lab of a JBC member.
