ABOUT THE HOPE FUND
For nearly two decades, the Hope Fund has provided higher educational opportunities in the United States for exceptional Palestinian students living in the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, and Jordan, particularly refugees and others from disadvantaged circumstances. More than 100 Palestinian men and women have been selected based on their leadership potential, character, and strong academic qualifications, as well as limited financial resources that pose an obstacle to their pursuit of a higher education.
HOW IT WORKS
Participation in the Hope Fund is a four-step process:
Step One: Amideast identifies candidates with the academic potential to succeed in a college environment.
Step Two: Once accepted, candidates receive academic advising, test preparation, essay writing guidance, and other assistance throughout the application process.
Step Three: Amideast works directly with U.S. institutions of higher education, students, and families to match scholars to select American colleges or universities willing to provide scholarship resources to fund candidates’ completion of four-year undergraduate degree programs in the United States.
Step Four: During their studies, the Hope Fund covers educational costs—above and beyond what universities and families are able to commit—for items such as tuition, books, health insurance, and transportation.
PROGRAM COMPONENTS
Amideast will provide students with the following range of educational advising, test preparation and testing services to improve his/her profile to be competitive enough to get accepted into U.S. universities:
Educational advising and counseling of students throughout the application process to U.S. universities
Test preparation courses for TOEFL iBT® and SAT®
Payment of TOEFL® and SAT® test fees and score reports
Payment of college application fees
Students who win acceptance to U.S. universities may also receive funding for expenses that are not covered by their university’s scholarship
