Former Yeshivah student wins Cambridge scholarship
Yossi Frenkel was selected from a strong field of applicants from across the country.
University of Melbourne graduate Yossi Frenkel has been awarded a full Cambridge Australia Scholarship, the Allen STEM Scholarship, to undertake postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
The scholarship is highly competitive nationally, and Frenkel was selected from a strong field of applicants from across the country.
Frenkel will study a Master of Philosophy in Advanced Computer Science at Cambridge. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Melbourne, and before that attended Yeshivah College. Frenkel has also received the Rae and Edith Bennett Prestigious Travelling Scholarship to assist in his move to the UK.
Cambridge Australia Scholarships Masters Selection Committee chair Justin Sherwin said Frenkel had impressed the selection panel.
“Yossi stood out as an outstanding candidate with a remarkable academic and personal CV,” Sherwin said.
