With your support, MECA is providing full or partial scholarships to 112 students at 10 Palestinian universities.
These students would not be able to continue their education without a scholarship. They are studying to be the next generation of nurses, special education teachers, pharmacists, journalists, lawyers and everything in between.
The students, their families, and the universities thank you for your commitment to education!
Here's a few of the notes we received this year:
"My desire to continue my education and my specialty in midwifery and my family's bad financial situation pushed me to apply to you to try to get this scholarship... Because of my father's work situation I can't continue without support. The occupation demolished our house a few years ago which pushed my father to be in debt because he tried to build a new house for us to continue to live. I count on God and you to help me and support me with this scholarship. I hope to graduate from the health professions college as a midwife." - Sana, Bethlehem University
"Thank you very much for your assistance and help to our needy students" - Muna, Hebron University
"We are grateful for your help, your trust, and your commitment to our mission. On behalf of the Birzeit community, thank you wholeheartedly for your kind support." - Laurance, Birzeit University
"Thank you very much for your help which enable me to continue my study." - Noora, An-Najah University
