The “Leading the Pack” Scholarship Fund, In support of Oketz Unit veterans
The Leading the Pack Foundation awards annual scholarships of 10,000NIS for academic studies during the 2024–2025 school year (תשפ”ה). The scholarships are intended for students pursuing a bachelor’s degree at institutions accredited by the Council for Higher Education in Israel (MALAG), whose annual tuition exceeds 10,000NIS.
Recipients are required to complete 120 hours of volunteer service as part of the foundation’s activities or through other placements, as determined by the scholarship committee. A candidate’s ability to make a meaningful contribution to the foundation’s work—supporting fellow unit alumni and bereaved families—is a key consideration in the selection process. Attendance at the scholarship award ceremony, held near Rosh Hashanah in the presence of the bereaved families, is mandatory and a condition for receiving the scholarship.
In late November, a day of group bonding and reflection was held for the unit’s bereaved families. The day concluded with a scholarship ceremony honoring the memory of the unit’s fallen, and awarding support to its veterans.
