Overcoming barriers to higher education
The Amjad and Suha Bseisu Foundation provide higher education scholarships in the UK, US, Middle East and Malaysia. We work to reduce financial barriers to education, with a focus on youth, women and refugees in STEM.
“The Bseisu Foundation does not merely offer financial support to overcome educational barriers, but also resembles and embodies the ambition of the Middle East.”
Yazan, 2019 Scholar
Our Impact
We work with top global universities, private philanthropists, as well as internationally renowned governmental and non-governmental organisations to provide unparalleled educational opportunities in STEM and related fields for our scholars.
As of 2022-23, we have supported 80 scholars from 9 countries, with consistently high numbers of women and refugees in each intake.
Where We Work
The Bseisu Foundation has a global reach, supporting brilliant young students through higher education at top universities in the UK, US, Middle East and Malaysia.
We currently offer scholarships and funding opportunities for students who originate from Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Ukraine or Malaysia.
