As Chair of the Ma’ala Program, I am proud to present an opportunity that has the potential to transform the lives of exceptional Arab students who aspire to excel in STEM fields.
Imagine a program that inspires and challenges you to go beyond what you may currently perceive as your limits—a platform that not only supports your educational goals, but also develops the skills and talents needed to thrive in today’s highly competitive professional environment.
This is exactly what Ma’ala is designed to provide.

At Ma’ala, our goal is to harness the power of computational science to explore and address real-world challenges. Throughout the program, students deepen their knowledge of science and coding while building a strong foundation for future academic success and careers in science and technology.
One of the program’s unique strengths is the opportunity to connect with experienced professionals and researchers from a wide range of Arab-led startups, engineering companies, and organizations at the forefront of cutting-edge research.
These valuable opportunities provide students with mentorship, knowledge, and first-hand exposure to the many academic and career paths available in the fields of science and technology.

At Ma’ala, we go beyond simply providing theoretical education. We are committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped with essential soft skills—abilities that are often overlooked or undervalued in traditional academic systems.
Through our program, we place a strong emphasis on developing effective communication, self-motivation, creative thinking, a strong work ethic, and public speaking skills.
Our goal is to ensure that students are not only academically accomplished but also equipped with the confidence, interpersonal skills, and professional competencies needed to become successful academics and professionals in their future careers.

At Ma’ala, we believe that networking is a cornerstone of professional success and career development.
Through our program, we empower students to build strong and meaningful networks of academic and professional connections that can open doors to valuable opportunities in the future.
These relationships serve as an important foundation for their academic and professional journeys, providing valuable support when applying to higher education institutions, exploring career paths, and pursuing employment opportunities.

The Ma’ala Program has received approval from the Israeli Ministry of Education and the Council for Higher Education, reflecting the academic credibility and rigorous standards of our educational framework.
Furthermore, students participating in the program are eligible to earn bonus points that contribute to their admission assessments at higher education institutions, providing them with a valuable advantage as they pursue their academic aspirations.
These benefits reflect the high-quality education and comprehensive academic preparation that students receive through the Ma’ala Program.

At Ma’ala, we are deeply committed to promoting diversity and equal opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), with a particular focus on supporting outstanding Arab students and empowering them to reach their full potential.
We firmly believe that financial circumstances should never stand in the way of talent, ambition, or academic excellence. Every gifted student deserves the opportunity to pursue their aspirations, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
To make our program more accessible and inclusive, we offer scholarships to students who require financial assistance to cover tuition fees. Through this commitment, we strive to ensure that talented students have the opportunity to benefit from high-quality education, develop their skills, and build a strong foundation for a successful academic and professional future.

At its core, Ma’ala is an inspiring journey, an extraordinary mission, and a unique opportunity to shape the future. It is a transformative educational experience designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to pursue successful academic and professional careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
If you are a talented Arab student with a passion for science and technology, we invite you to discover the exciting world of Ma’ala—a world of innovation, discovery, learning, and endless possibilities.
Embrace this remarkable journey, challenge yourself, unlock your full potential, and turn your aspirations into meaningful achievements.
Join us at Ma’ala and become part of a new generation of scientists, innovators, and technology leaders shaping the future of STEM.

Best regards,
Prof. Hossam Haick
