About the Weizmann School of Science PhD Fellowship (2026)

## Rolling doctoral admission Official PhD application page says applications may be submitted all year round with no deadline. This is the general institutional PhD fellowship family, not a separate Physics award and not an MSc call. Physics is a research area, but the older supplied departmental URL currently renders a page-not-found message; use the current School of Science admissions route. ## Current regular fellowship Official fellowship page lists NIS 9,000/month for full-time PhD students for 4.5 years. Students must devote their time to study/research. Tuition-free study does not establish free housing; confirm accommodation and international insurance separately. External fellowships substitute for, rather than stack with, the regular award. Official travel allowance is $4,250 paid in NIS in two installments, with external-award travel-offset rules. Extensions beyond 54 months depend on the Dean and can extend financial support at most to 60 months; extension is not guaranteed. Payment ends under the official degree-completion, departure and thesis conditions. ## Official funding source https://www.weizmann.ac.il/wsos/fellowship-aid/phd-students Scholarship eligibility is not immigration clearance; verify current entry, visa and programme arrangements before accepting a place.
