BGU says scholarships are still available for international PhD students from North America or Western Europe to spend up to one year conducting research at Ben-Gurion University during 2026–2027.
Complete scholarship details
Ben-Gurion University offers ten competitive grants across academic fields. The full-year grant is up to NIS 80,000, with reduced support possible for shorter stays; full-year stays are prioritized. Applications are routed through a BGU Faculty member and then to the university committee. The current page does not state a closing date, so no deadline was invented.

International PhD students enrolled at an accredited higher-education institution in North America or Western Europe who have completed at least one successful year of doctoral study and are not citizens or residents of Israel.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Official page was updated 10 August 2026 and states scholarships are still available. No application deadline is published on the checked page.
