Israel at War:

Swords of Iron

The murderous surprise attack by Hamas
on October 7th, and the subsequent
war turned life upside down in Israel,
including at HAC. The 2023-2024 academic
year, slated to begin in late October,
was postponed until December 24th.
HAC consequently decided to grant our
400 students in reserve duty a special
scholarship award in order to support
them financially, and in recognition
of their contribution to the State of
Israel. At the same time, the College
created a package of special academic
support and benefits for these students
in order to maximize their chances
of completing the academic year.
