Admission to the program is offered to candidates based on personal excellence – a psychometric score above 700, high matriculation grades, and other achievements.

The goal of the program is to nurture the academic excellence of its participants and provide them with skills that will support their career success. In addition to fostering excellence in studies and research, the program strongly emphasizes personal development in areas such as entrepreneurship, management, leadership, and creativity. Participants enjoy enrichment activities in fields like culture, music, psychology, education, and sports. The program also encourages students to pursue a master’s degree in the faculty through personal mentoring by faculty members and research students from various faculty labs. Additionally, club members receive a scholarship during their undergraduate studies.

Ilanot - Bar-Ilan University’s Excellence Program for Undergraduates

The "Ilanot" program is a prestigious track for outstanding candidates in the top percentile of undergraduate applicants, with a psychometric score of 740 or higher and a matriculation average of 110+.

Participation in this program grants, among other benefits, full tuition exemption, an annual living stipend of 12,000 NIS, personal academic mentoring, and campus parking (for those who own a vehicle registered in their name).
