Why University Students Need Financial Aid

The need for financial aid among university students in the Arab world has never been greater. The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with unstable political situations and regressing economic conditions in less developed regions, has made higher education an even more critical priority. High unemployment rates further exacerbate the challenges, creating significant obstacles to achieving quality education. Your donations can help young scholars overcome these barriers and achieve their lifetime goals.
