برنامج منحة أهداف لطلاب البكالوريوس الفلسطينيين

Introduction

This section is for students in Palestine who want to apply for support from Ahdaf.

We ask that you read the pages here carefully before submitting your application.

Here are a few tips before you start:

You must be intending to undertake study for your first undergraduate degree
Ahdaf will support young people who have not attended university before and may consider students who are enrolled and in their first year
You must be intending to study at a university in the West Bank or Gaza
We only pay tuition fees: not travel, registration or anything else
You have to run a project for the duration of your studies. This means you need to look at your community and think about what you can do to make it a better place for everyone. You need to think about how you can make a positive contribution to your community

Guidance

Please consider the following as you complete your application. Those that tend to do well when reviewed are ones that:

have a strong community project proposal which is well researched and thought out
come from applicants in serious financial difficulty
come from students who have done well at school
are from young people who have not yet enrolled on a course

Voluntary project

We want you to think about the types of activities you can do with no cost other than your time and enthusiasm. Strong projects should encourage partnership and relationship-building in your local community. What will make a difference where you live?

Some students have clearly thought very hard about how they can effect change in their communities and we have had some excellent submissions over the years. Here are some ideas we’ve had in the past:

establishing a local library
teaching English at a UN school
helping establish a needlework group
producing youth group video diaries
providing computer coaching to children or re-training adults with new skills
setting up a sports team
a Nakba history project
local land use documentation projects
working with disabled people
setting up youth theatre programmes
running play sessions in orphanages
helping to restore historic buildings
running adult literacy groups
planting a public garden
Finally, there are some factors that may not help an application:
you have already started university
you are studying medicine or a course that takes longer than four years
your family has regular income
your family is able to pay for brothers and sisters to go to university
Please note, Ahdaf does not provide financial support for students who have already gained a degree.
