Israel awarded 131 scholarships for South American students for training programs in Israel during the first half of 1973–making it the most generous state in this field. Spain came next with 93 scholarship awards and the U.S. third with 68. The figures were compiled by the Organization of American States and were cited by the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem. The training courses in Israel include programs in agriculture, planning and budgeting development, and financing urban development.
