The support provided through the Excellence Program is assistance offered by the Center for Academic Support and Accessibility and the Special Programs (Attention in Academia, Opportunities in Academia) to eligible students who are struggling academically. 

The Excellence Program is intended for students with a GPA of 85 or higher who have been approved by the department chair, have passed an interview with the MATNA staff or the staff of the various programs, and are interested in joining the teaching assistant corps and receiving compensation for their participation.

The practice includes individual and/or group meetings with students from the track who require academic assistance, throughout the semester.

1. Commitment

An outstanding student participating in the excellence program commits to:  

• Practice two hours weekly throughout the academic year. A total of 110 calendar hours (1 hour = 60 minutes).
• Practice throughout the entire semester, including the exam period. 
• To demonstrate seriousness, perseverance, and dedication throughout the practice process. 
• To accurately report actual practice hours in the tracking form.   
• Attend the training sessions that will take place during the semester (attendance is approved as a practice hour). 
• To maintain the confidentiality of the students I mentor during and after the practicum, both with regard to their personal information and the topics discussed during the practicum sessions.  
• Private lessons are not permitted with students during or after the practical training period in which they participated, until the end of their studies, unless approved by the relevant program coordinator. 

2. The Reward:

1. Scholarship totaling NIS 6600 (rate of NIS 60 per hour. Conditional on completing 110 hours).
2. Entry to IMBA Managers' Club lectures
3. Recommendation to join practice teams in the next academic year or upon completion of studies
4. Letter of recommendation and appreciation from the Faculty Dean and Head of Specialization
5. 3 credit points – It is the student’s responsibility to contact the Student Affairs Office to claim this benefit.

Please note:

1. During the program period, hours must be reported using an online form after each meeting.
2. The student receiving mentorship will also fill out an hourly report form for the mentorship meetings.
3. This report will serve as a reference for receiving payment.
4. Failure to submit the report on time may result in a payment delay.

I understand that if I do not meet the conditions, an inquiry will be handled with the Mentoring Program Coordinator or the Faculty, and my participation in the excellence program may be terminated.
