Our Purpose
We are a non-profit, volunteer, Canadian organization that supports the École Biblique, a world-renowned school of Bible and archaeology, in Jerusalem.
We offer scholarships to Canadian graduate students and academics to study and do research at the École Biblique. We also provide support for library acquisitions and for IT enhancement, teaching and other academic projects at the École Biblique. We welcome donations by mail and via the web (via Canada Helps) in support of scholarships and specific projects that promote academic excellence at the École Biblique.What We Do
