The Helen Diller Quantum Center is awarding scholarships to outstanding students in the field of quantum science and technology studying at the Technion.
The scholarships aim to encourage students to engage in this important research field.
The main criterion for receiving the scholarship is the extent of scientific output, as demonstrated by publications in scientific journals and conferences in the quantum field.
If the supervisor believes that the student excels in research but the scientific output will only come later, this should be explained in the recommendation letter.
The recipient will receive one additional scholarship beyond the approved amount for this period.
The additional scholarship will be granted for the months October 2024 to September 2025 (inclusive), subject to the specified conditions below.
Note: Candidates who receive or have applied for a named scholarship/an external scholarship - can apply for the Helen Diller Quantum Center excellence scholarships, pending the approval of the Technion graduates’ school and according to the guidelines of the external/named scholarship that the student has received or has applied for.
