The One Year Study Program for American college students at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has been launched for the eighth consecutive year, it was announced today by Daniel G. Ross, chairman of the board of the American Friends of the Hebrew University, which sponsors this educational undertaking.
The American Student Program Committee of the organization stated that applications must be received before January 15, 1962. Professor Oscar I. Janowsky of the City College of New York is chairman of the Committee. The program encompasses undergraduates who have completed at least two years of college, as well as graduate students. Although prior knowledge of Hebrew is not absolutely required, some familiarity with the language is regarded as highly desirable and candidates are expected to begin to study Hebrew while still in America as preparation for the year in Israel.
A limited number of partial scholarships are available for qualified students who are in need of financial assistance. They are awarded on the basis of academic achievement and economic need. During their stay in Israel, the American students share dormitory rooms with Israeli students on the University campus at Givat Ram, Jerusalem.
