The starting date of the visit should not be later than four years after receipt of the doctoral degree; the fellow must hold a valid doctoral degree no later than October 2020.

Fellows are entitled to one airline ticket (economy class, up to $1,500) for a direct flight from their hometown to Israel and back.
