Scholarship for US/Algerian and US/Palestinian Community Members
Students who are members of the Algerian-American or Palestinian-American communities have many things in common including historic struggles for liberation, justice and the dignity.
Though this background can be difficult, it can also inspire greatness and motivate students to dedicate themselves to working for a better future for all. There is no one path for making a difference in the world or one specific career field in which to do so. Those who are motivated can channel their drive for change into nearly any profession.
This scholarship aims to support students who plan to spend their lives changing the world for the better and working towards peace and justice.
Any undergraduate or graduate student who is a first or second-generation Algerian or Palestinian immigrant studying journalism, communication, media, international law, government, and international relations, policy and political science, global leadership, teaching, civil society, or a related field may apply for this scholarship. Extra bonus points if they have a track record of working toward justice, peace, prosperity, and dignity for all around the world.
To apply, tell us about yourself, how you plan to make a difference through your work, how your experiences as an Algerian-American or Palestinian-American have influenced your beliefs and goals, and what major historical or current affairs you know about Algeria and/or Palestine.
