TL;DRA bill to extend the period of eligibility for state participation in funding tuition for discharged soldiers who fought in a war or in military operations.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Absorption of Discharged Soldiers Law so that periods of war or a declared military state of emergency will not be counted in the years of eligibility for funding a bachelor's degree. This way, soldiers who returned to service after their discharge or served in prolonged emergency periods will be able to exercise their eligibility for study funding even after five to seven years have passed since their discharge.
