The first round of applications for our Student-at-Home Scholarships has closed, and we thank all those who participated. As stated in the scholarship announcement, selection will be based on academic achievement, degree completion progress, as well as personal, research, and academic goals.

During the past week, we evaluated applications to ensure they met the general eligibility requirements. We are now in the second stage, in which applications are reviewed based on the criteria. We expect this stage to continue until 15 January, with results announced by the end of January.

We recognize that all students in Gaza, under the current circumstances, are in need of support, and we regret that we cannot help everyone right away. However, this round is hopefully the first of many. We will keep all applicants updated about the current process and future opportunities.

However, unfortunately a technical issue occurred in the application system, which resulted in missing email addresses and phone numbers for some applicants. If you know of any student who submitted their application before 8 December 2025, please send them the following form to complete: https://forms.gle/9ANRE84FK7yCEFK2A.

Best wishes for a safe and productive year,
