Overview 

The DSI at BIU would like to recognize and reward exceptional work in the area of data science that resulted in a significant contribution to the field.

This is a unique opportunity for BIU students to receive recognition for their hard work.

The DSI has allocated a total of up to 50K NIS for scholarships of 1,000 to 4,000 NIS each. The applications will be reviewed by a panel of experts from the Data Science Institute, and the winners will be announced at the DSI retreat that will take place in June 2023.
