The UCLA International Institute is pleased to announce the Mudie-Glaser Scholarship which will provide
scholarships to UCLA students who have applied to study abroad at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel.
The average award amount is $2,000. The Mudie-Glaser Scholarship is designed for UCLA students from any
academic background who wish to gain first-hand knowledge of Israel and its citizens, and to share their experience
