The Israeli Embassy has announced the launch of the Israel-Asia Leaders Fellowship scheme.

The program is part-time and is designed to supplement students’ existing university study program while in Israel.

“The Israel-Asia Leaders fellowship aims to invest in the next generation of leaders in Israel-Asia relations by providing Asian students studying in Israel the high-level access, contacts, skill-set and support network necessary to build long-term strategic partnerships with Israel,” said Israel Ambassador Tuvia Israeli.

The fellowship will run according to the academic year ― from October 2011 to June 2012.
