Ben-Gurion University continues efforts in supporting students and faculty in the reserves.

The Times of Israel — Enrolled students called up for reserve duty will receive a NIS 1,200 ($300) grant and a delay in paying rental fees if they were living in university dormitories, Ben Gurion University of the Negev announces.

The university also said it would provide assistance for students, faculty and staff who have been evacuated from their homes as a result of the Israel-Hamas war.

Due to the massive call-up of IDF reserves, an estimated 30% of all university students, as well as many faculty and staff, are now doing IDF reserve duty in various capacities.

BGU continues to work diligently to provide support and assistance to reservists and those affected. If you’d like to contribute to these efforts, please visit a4bgu.org/negevprevails today.
