Join Us in Shaping The Future – Giving Opportunities

At the Open University of Israel (OUI), your support helps us open the doors to higher education, drive forward scientific innovation, and respond to urgent national challenges. With your partnership, we can continue to serve a diverse student body across Israel and beyond, and strengthen the resilience and progress of Israeli society.
We invite you to make a meaningful impact through the following key giving opportunities:

Student Support

Many OUI students balance their studies with demanding work, military service, caregiving, and other responsibilities. Many of whom are First Generation to Higher Education. Scholarships and tailored support programs enable them to pursue higher education—regardless of socioeconomic background or geographic location. You can direct your support to specific groups facing financial hardship, such as students from the periphery, Ultra Orthodox students, or Arab Israeli students.

Advancing AI and Emerging Technologies

OUI is at the forefront of developing and teaching AI and emerging technologies that are transforming every aspect of our lives. Your support can help expand cutting-edge research and develop innovative programs that equip students with the skills to lead in a rapidly evolving digital world.

Research Endeavours

Your gift to research at OUI supports our six multidisciplinary research centers, which lead pioneering work across fields such as computational science, educational technologies, sustainability, and the humanities. By investing in these centers, you foster academic excellence, strengthen global collaborations, and contribute to solutions for complex local and global challenges.

Emergency Student Fund

Supporting Students in Times of Crisis. In the wake of the war in Israel, many OUI students have faced life-altering disruptions: displacement, loss of income, emotional trauma, and national service. The Emergency Student Fund provides immediate financial assistance to those affected, allowing them to continue their academic path despite the crisis. Your support offers stability, hope, and continuity during a time of national emergency.
