SUPPORT PALESTINIAN STUDENTS ACHIEVE THEIR HIGHER EDUCATION GOALS One of the practical ways to offer solidarity is to support the higher education of economically challenged Palestinian students living under military occupation and blockade. Scholarships provide vital assistance that build the capacities of a future generation of Palestinians; enable worthy young men and women to secure the qualifications needed to improve earning capacities and ability to assist their families and communities. The struggle is real – Palestinian students need your help!

WHAT SHAMSAAN IS DOING Shamsaan has provided funding to enable academically distinguished, economically disadvantaged Palestinian students complete their education at leading academic institutions in Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza. With our partners we have continued to growing the education fund and have increased the number of student beneficiaries annually.

WHY SPONSOR A PALESTINIAN STUDENT? Palestinian schools, universities and education institutions have and continue to contribute to sustaining Palestinian national life for a geographically fragmented people while also providing the skills for personal development and growth. Youth comprise one third of the Palestinian population and the majority live under the poverty line with only 12% being able to complete their studies within a standard timeframe. Education is a source of both hope and economic transformation and the educational support for Palestinian youth as the builders of the present and the future nation, is vital to the development of an efficient economic, political and social system.

Shamsaan undertakes the verification of all supporting documentation and references to confirm the authenticity of financial hardship in consultation with officials of the academic institutions in Palestine. All administrative costs are borne by Shamsaan so your contribution (including to Zakat eligible students) is delivered to the education fund with ZERO overhead cost. 

*100% of the donations received is paid directly into the account of the institutions attended by scholarship recipients on behalf of the student.
