Since 2007, the DKSSF has matched more than 150 deserving young men and women from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia, and Yemen with scholarships covering their undergraduate degree programs in the United States. With the generous support of donors, this unique Amideast program expands access to educational opportunity for academically qualified youth who possess leadership potential and yearn to make a difference in their societies but lack the means to afford a quality higher education.

For 20 years, the Hope Fund has opened doors to U.S. higher education for young Palestinian men and women, many from refugee backgrounds, by matching academically qualified youth with scholarships from universities and colleges across the United States. Donor support ensures that Amideast is able to connect aspiring Palestinian undergraduates to scholarships and cover substantial other costs such as standardized test fees, student visas, and international travel.
