Lebanon

U For Youth

OVERVIEW

Since its launch in 2010 as part of the bank’s U for Youth program, we have joined forces to provide professional development opportunities to young adults ages 18 - 25. Through Bank of Beirut’s U for Youth program, Amideast delivers skills-training workshops that address the different professional development needs faced by Lebanese youth throughout their early career stages. With these skills, university students, fresh graduates, and young professionals will be able to competently enter the workforce and gain a competitive edge in the job market.

MENA Scholarship Support Fund (MSSF)

About the MSSF

Amideast's MENA Scholarship Support Fund (MSSF) enables highly qualified students from underserved communities in Lebanon to pursue undergraduate study in the United States. Through this program, Amideast identifies exceptional students who demonstrate promise but lack the financial means to attend an American college or university.

MSSF provides support to students admitted to U.S. colleges and universities with generous financial aid packages by closing the gap in cost of attendance.

Hope Fund

ABOUT THE HOPE FUND

The Hope Fund is dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of deserving Palestinian youth—many from refugee backgrounds—for a higher education that will realize their academic potential.

Through this initiative, Amideast is able to identify students of exceptional accomplishment and promise who wish to pursue their undergraduate studies at an American college or university but cannot afford to do so.

The Hope Fund program provides support for expenses like application fees, testing fees, and essay writing.
