To date, the DKSSF has been able to match nearly 70 deserving youth to scholarships, tihanks to the generosity of donors and more than 40 participating colleges and universities (see list). A source of pride is that this effort has achieved gender balance, helping to open doors to educational opportunity for deserving young women as well as men.
The DKSSF is but one of several initiatives through which Amideast is helping to expand access to higher education for talented, deserving youths from the region. More than 125 high school graduates in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen are college-bound as a result of the U.S. Department of State-funded Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship Program and Abraham Lincoln Incentive Grants Program, as well as the Competitive College Clubs and Opportunity Grants offered through EducationUSA advising centers that Amideast operates in many of these countries. In addition, Amideast’s in-region support for the Hope Fund made it possible for seven Palestinian refugee youths to receive scholarships for U.S. study.
