The health, safety and security of our Fulbright participants is our highest priority. Amideast is working closely with the U.S. Department of State, U.S. host institutions, Fulbright Commissions, and U.S. Embassies in the MENA region to monitor developments related to the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and provide guidance to current Fulbright Foreign Students, nominees, and applicants. We will continue to monitor the outbreak and we are taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all Fulbrighters.
Launched in 2015, this scholarship initiative strengthens participants' future capabilities by offering, in parallel, specially designed supplementary enhancement activities such as English language instruction, leadership training, and career planning, as well as internships, community service, and study abroad at universities in the United States.
MSSF 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. With the generous support of donors, this unique Amideast program enables us to identify deserving students and match them with undergraduate scholarship opportunities at U.S. universities and colleges.
The Hope Fund offers a path to higher education for them. Since 2000, it has helped 140 Palestinian men and women—nearly all from refugee backgrounds—receive scholarships for undergraduate study in the United States.
With your donation, we can help more underserved Palestinian youth realize their dreams for higher education.
In late September 2014, USAID awarded Quality Instruction Towards Access and Basic Education Improvement (QITABI), a $42 million grant to implement basic education services in Lebanon’s public schools over a four-year period, to Amideast, World Learning, MSI, and Ana Aqra’.

In a life-threatening emergency, you must first call 911 to report the emergency or incident and seek immediate assistance.
After you have called 911 to report the emergency and are safe, and during business hours, call your Amideast Program Officer or Program Assistant to report the situation.
The U.S. Department of State, the binational Fulbright Commissions, and Amideast invite you to stay in touch and learn about your accomplishments after your Fulbright experience in the U.S. There are many ways to stay involved as Fulbright alumni. Staying connected to fellow alumni is also a great way to build upon your Fulbright experience and expand your personal and professional networks.
