A New Program for Excelling Students at the Faculty of Engineering

The 700 Points Club offers scholarships and academic mentoring by BIU’s Faculty of Engineering’s leading lecturers and by leading industry professionals to excelling students – male and especially female

With the opening of the 2018/9 academic year, the Alexander Kofkin Faculty of Engineering at Bar-Ilan University launched a program for excelling students – the 700 Points Club, a joint initiative with KLA Tencor Israel. The program is aimed to advance students – especially female – who earned a 700+ grade in the psychometric exam (Israel’s equivalent of the SAT’s, maximum grade – 800). “The percentage of female engineering students is significantly low of that of male students, and not just at Bar-Ilan,” says Dina Yeminy, Administrative Head of the Faculty of Engineering. “We make every effort in encouraging women to choose this field of study. All the students, male and female, accepted into this club, will enjoy a range of benefits and perks, such as scholarships donated by KLA-Tencor, field training alongside industry leaders, and academic mentoring by our world renowned researchers.”
