Partner and Bar-Ilan Award Scholarships as Firms Win 1 Billion Shekel Tender
Partner Communications and Bar-Ilan University are awarding scholarships to soldiers wounded in Operation Iron Swords. Meanwhile, Partner and Bezeq secured a 1 billion shekel government communication tender.
Partner Communications and Bar-Ilan University have launched their second consecutive year of academic scholarship grants dedicated to security forces personnel wounded during Operation Iron Swords. The cooperative initiative aims to bolster the rehabilitation, reintegration, and academic progression of veterans who sustained injuries while serving in defense of the country.
The scholarships complement Bar-Ilan University's comprehensive support system for wounded service members. The institution operates a dedicated security forces division offering tailored study tracks for personnel from the IDF, Israel Police, security agencies, government ministries, and defense industries, enabling students to pursue degrees alongside their national service.
Partner Communications emphasized its ongoing dedication to the veterans, stating: "For many students, coping and rehabilitation continue long after the injury, and we see great importance in standing by them every step of the way."
Broader University Milestones and Government Tenders
Alongside its veteran support programs, Bar-Ilan University recently marked its 70th anniversary by awarding an honorary doctorate in philosophy to Israeli actress and producer Gal Gadot. The gala event honored her contributions to global cinema, cultural influence, and steadfast advocacy for Israel and the Jewish people during times of crisis.
In the corporate sector, Partner recently secured a major public contract alongside Bezeq. The Government Procurement Administration at the Ministry of Finance's Accountant General's Office announced the two telecommunications firms as winners of a central tender to supply data communication services to government ministries.
The ten-year agreement is valued at approximately one billion shekels. The tender aims to upgrade governmental communication infrastructure, ensure operational continuity, and deliver advanced, secure, and reliable data networks while fostering public sector efficiency.
