Our Work

Amideast's MENA Scholarship Support Fund (MSSF) enables highly qualified students from underserved communities in the Middle East and North Africa to pursue undergraduate study in the United States. Through this program, Amideast identifies exceptional students who demonstrate promise, but lack the financial means to attend an American college or university. 

MSSF provides support to students admitted to U.S. colleges and universities with generous financial aid packages by closing the gap in cost of attendance. 

Institutional financial aid and/or scholarships may be used for the semester/academic year programs. Federal Financial Aid (Perkins Loans, SSIG Grant Program, Pell Grants, FSEOG Grants, Stafford Loans, SLS Loans, PLUS Loans, and Consolidation Loans) also can generally be used for study abroad programs. Get in touch with your study abroad or financial aid office to determine which awards could help support your time abroad.

Between 2007 and 2017, Camp Discovery served thousands of mainly at-risk youth ages 8-14 from refugee camps in Gaza and the West Bank with funding from the U.S. Consul General in Jerusalem and in partnership with UNRWA. 

Since summer 2017, Amideast has offered Camp Discovery modelled on the successful West Bank/Gaza program in Tunisia, benefiting at-risk youth in and around Bizerte. 

The Hope Fund offers a path to higher education for them. Since 2000, it has helped 140 Palestinian men and women—nearly all from refugee backgrounds—receive scholarships for undergraduate study in the United States.

With your donation, we can help more underserved Palestinian youth realize their dreams for higher education.
