Absorption of Discharged Soldiers Law (Amendment – Full Funding for the "Mimadim Lelimudim" Program) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק קליטת חיילים משוחררים (תיקון - מימון מלא לתוכנית "ממדים ללימודים")

TL;DRA proposal to amend the Discharged Soldiers Absorption Law to fund the full tuition of discharged soldiers in the "Soldiers to Studies" program, instead of the current 75%.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal updates a section of the Discharged Soldiers Absorption Law (5754-1994), so that a discharged soldier who is eligible for funding will receive coverage of 100% of the full annual tuition, instead of 75% today. The main rationale for the amendment is that whoever contributes 100% is expected to receive the full scholarship. Proposals similar in substance were submitted by other MKs.
