The IICC is in charge of 40 funds honoring fallen former intelligence agents that support former agents or present agents who take a sabbatical academic year to pursue their scholastic goals. Some of the scholarships are general academic scholarships, while the others require research in a specific project (oftentimes related to the specialty of the deceased operative after whom the scholarship is named) that may enrich knowledge in a particular field and ultimately benefit the security of the state of Israel. 

We believe in the importance of this type of academic education since some students choose a political/ public service career where their academic education may be of assistance. The scholarships are merit and needs-based, and the demand far exceeds what is currently available.
