The International Fellowships Program, which AMIDEAST administers in Egypt and Palestine, provides a select number of exceptional students with the financial support necessary to pursue up to three years of graduate study at any college or university in the world. The program attracts students from diverse backgrounds but is targeted toward individuals from communities that routinely lack access to higher education. IFP seeks to instill within these future leaders the skills and knowledge needed to improve social and economic conditions within their communities. In addition to providing financial assistance for travel, living expenses and tuition, IFP also offers preliminary short-term training including language instruction, workshops on research skills, and computer training.
Launched in 2009, the Abraham Lincoln Incentive Grants Program invests in bright, needy Palestinian students with the potential to compete successfully for scholarships to pursue undergraduate studies in the United States. The program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Middle East Partnership Initiative and the Consulate General in Jerusalem, is the first of its kind in Palestine to provide direct assistance to students who would not otherwise consider U.S. study due to the significant preparatory expenses that are involved to become competitive applicants for U.S. college and university admissions and scholarships.
Announced on the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, who came from humble roots yet rose to become one of the greatest U.S. presidents, the grants program evokes Lincoln’s spirit of hard work, self-reliance, and hope as inspiration to these potential future Palestinian leaders.
