Growing up in a family with four siblings in Beit\u00a0<\/span>Shean, a periphery town on Israel\u2019s northeastern\u00a0<\/span>border \u00a0with \u00a0Jordan, Shir Paska could not take a place in Israel’s top university for granted. S<\/span>he<\/span>\u00a0knew she\u00a0<\/span>wanted to do something in engineering or<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Shir was ecstatic when she was accepted. \u201cThere\u00a0<\/span>are only 41 people chosen for this program and\u00a0<\/span>I \u00a0so \u00a0much \u00a0wanted \u00a0to \u00a0be \u00a0one \u00a0of \u00a0them.\u00a0<\/span>Someone is investing so much in me, and I will try\u00a0<\/span>my hardest to do the maximum and succeed.\u201d<\/span>
This year, Shir becomes a <\/span>freshman in mechanical engineering at the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Technion. She will receive a scholarship, laptop<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>computer and living expenses through Rosman<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Atidim\u2019s Industry program, and intern in her field<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>at a leading company.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI want to get my degree and live and work in the\u00a0<\/span>North,\u201d says Shir. \u201cThe Galilee has too much wasted\u00a0<\/span>potential, and I want to change that. Rosman\u00a0<\/span>Atidim is giving me the chance.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Founded with the support of Dr. Martin and Grace Rosman of Sarasota Florida and Edgewater Maryland, the Rosman Atidim program supports Atidim’s PreAcademic Preparatory and Industry program at the Technion – Israel Institute of Techology. It provides the means to excel to talented young people from Israel’s less privileged neighborhoods. Students from the program often have a stated agenda to take their new skills back home – to advance their native area and inspire others to do the same.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
The Rosman\u2019s have been supporting Atidim students\u00a0at the Technion for the past four years. All of the 20\u00a0students from the first graduating class are working\u00a0in their respective professions in industry. In\u00a02011\/12, the Rosman Atidim Industry\u00a0program is supporting 53 freshman students, of which\u00a0<\/span>28 are graduates of the Pre-Academic Preparatory\u00a0Program, and 47 sophomores. An additional 40\u00a0<\/span>students will begin the Pre-Academic Preparatory\u00a0program in January 2012. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Atidim students receive assistance in every aspect\u00a0of university life. From financial scholarships to\u00a0<\/span>academic tutoring, personal coaching to integration\u00a0into the work force and even a laptop computer,\u00a0<\/span>these students know that someone believes in them\u00a0and is willing to invest in their success.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
