About TSA

TSA - The Technion Students Association is one of the first and biggest student associations in Israel.

The Association's role is to represent the students at the Technion and to provide the necessary services for students in the years in which they are part of the Technion family.

The Association operates through two main branches:

A representative-volunteer branch is composed of Academic Representatives and Faculty Committees. Its members have a double role - to represent the students to the Technion staff and to represent them within the TSA institutions - all Semester Representatives constitute the Council of Representatives, which is the legislative body in the association that elects the chairperson and their deputy. All chairpersons of the faculties constitute the Executive Committee - the body that outlines the ongoing TSA policy.

A professional operational branch is headed by the chairperson and their deputy. Its members are selected in tenders to serve in salaried positions for the benefit of all students. The association's offices, coordinators and other employees work tirelessly in the following fields: academic, educational, campus life, cultural and social, to provide quality services to students.

TSA Budget

In 2011, TSA published its budget to the student public for the first time, detailing the various activities of the association and their cost.

How to read the budget:

Budget summary - This section lists the total budget for each office in the TSA.

Budget balance - Voluntary associations, such as the TSA, must be not-profitable, and all the income of the association is intended to realize its goals. Therefore, the TSA budget is a balanced budget, which means that total expenditures are equal to total income. If at the end of the budget year there is a surplus of income over expenditure, it is transferred to offset past deficits.

Structure of the sections – The income, expenditure and total sum for every project is detailed as follows:

Simulations Tests
