Over a dozen students were awarded academic excellence and need-based scholarships by governor Ronit Tadmor on behalf of the Hecht Foundation. Founded by Dr. Reuven Hecht in 1970, the Foundation established the Herzl Institute for the Study of Zionism in 1974, the Hecht Museum on campus in 1984, and provided support for the School of the Arts. The event was coordinated by the Israeli Friends of the University of Haifa.
