We’ve received a great response with many enquiries and applications being submitted. Some students have clearly thought very hard about how they can effect change in their communities with a project, there’s been some excellent submissions

There’s been a few questions about the process as well, so here is a short list to clarify some points:

1. You must be intending to undertake study for you first undergraduate degree
2. Ahdaf will support young people who have not attended university before and may consider students who are enrolled and in their first year
3. You must be studying at a university in the West Bank or Gaza
4. We only pay tuitions fees: not travel, registration or anything else
5. You have to run a project for the duration of their 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. Or, you could volunteer at a local organisation. But you need to think about how you can make a positive contribution to your community
6. You must fill out the entire application form. Incomplete forms will be rejected

We’ll accept applications until July 25th.  Don’t be concerned if you don’t hear from us immediately. Ahdaf pays no staff and is run solely by volunteers, so it takes a while to process everything. This year we hope to select six students to receive support for the entirety of their degree.
