Why Scholarships Matter

Why Scholarships Matter

Did you know that
Palestine refugees have some of the
highest literacy rates in the world?

Despite this huge potential,
only a fraction of Palestine refugees
can afford university,
with many living below $3 a day.

Too many brilliant students like Sadeel will graduate high school this year,
then find themselves stuck — unable to enroll without the help of a scholarship.
That’s where you come in.

Our university scholars

need your support.
