With college becoming increasingly expensive in the U.S., higher education has become inaccessible for many students.

Immigrant students in particular often have limited financial resources that can stand in the way of their dreams. As a result, financial aid is a vital resource that can make higher education more equitable, changing the trajectory of students’ futures.

This scholarship aims to support students who are passionate about making a difference in society through legal or medical careers.

Any Middle Eastern student who is pursuing a bachelor’s degree or graduate degree in pharmacy, medicine or law may apply for this scholarship. Immigrants are encouraged to apply!
