Vice Consul Highlights Study Opportunities in the United States

A Vice Consul from Embassy Tel Aviv's Consular Section visited Ben Gurion University in Beersheva, on Nov. 23, and Hebrew University in Jerusalem on Nov. 30, to provide information about student visas and exchange opportunities in the United States.

In partnership with EducationUSA, the Consular Officer spoke to dozens of students about the visa application process and how to qualify for student and exchange visas.
