Mission Statement

ISEF’s mission is to narrow Israel’s socioeconomic gap through higher education for gifted students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Its unique methodology combines scholarship grants with required community service, as well as training in leadership and social awareness.

About This Cause

ISEF'S Core Values are: Education as a means of individual and national development; Social awareness and advocacy; Pride in ethnic heritage as part of the Israeli culture; and Zionism, the commitment to the existence of a Jewish democratic State. ISEF was founded in 1977 by Edmond J. Safra z”l, Lily Safra, and Nina Weiner. The foundation supports Israelis who have completed military or national service. Though originally created by and for Sephardic Jews, today all cultural and ethnic groups in Israeli society who share the foundation’s values are represented in ISEF’s student body.
