Organized by a group of Holocaust Survivors, FIDF was created to provide for the well-being of Israel Defense Forces soldiers, veterans, and family members. The organization aims to give love, support, and care for Jewish service people who serve in the military worldwide. One of the ways that FIDF carries out this mission is to assist soldiers with their educational pursuits.
FIDF also supports soldiers through the Iranian American Jewish Foundation (IAJF). IAJF allows for soldiers who have not graduated from a high school program to achieve the equivalent while serving in the military. The program also goes a bit further in helping soldiers transition into civilian life by preparing them for the challenges.
For Israeli soldiers, the Matriculation Certificate Course prepares them for high school matriculation exams. These exams prepare students for higher education in Israel.
