Current Projects
Building the future of engineering education
Yad Eliyahu Campus Endowment Fund
American Friends of Afeka has launched the Yad Eliyahu Campus Endowment Fund to support the construction of Afeka College's new Yad Eliyahu Campus in southern Tel Aviv. Afeka College will soon begin construction of this pioneering new campus, establishing a cornerstone in Israel's technology future.
A portion of the endowment proceeds will be allocated annually to support the Yad Eliyahu Campus, including through student scholarships, and the remaining funds will be reinvested to ensure continual support and enable Afeka College to maintain its long-term commitment to providing a world-class engineering education.
"The new campus will build a unique socio-economic-educational ecosystem that promotes excellence and innovation in science and technology as a basis for social mobility."
