Prof. Ishaq Y. Al-Qutub

As we celebrate ASAI’s 48th Anniversary in 2024, I am honored to reflect on our journey and share my vision for the future. Arab Student Aid International (ASAI), a registered Educational Public Charity Foundation in the State of Ohio, remains steadfast in its mission as a tax-exempt, non-profit, non-political, and non-religious organization.

Vision

Our vision is for ASAI to be a cornerstone in the development of human resources and capacity building within the Arab States and around the world. By nurturing highly specialized and qualified scholars, we aim to enhance social and economic development and promote peace in the region.

Mission

ASAI is dedicated to enhancing the quality of specialized university graduates at the Ph.D., MA, and BA levels. Our mission is to provide financial support without prejudice to any student regardless of religion, gender, or racial background. We aim to contribute effectively to national and regional development by financially supporting Arab students who seek higher education opportunities.

Organizational Structure

Our organizational structure is built on five tiers:

  • Board of Trustees: Comprised of 46 distinguished professionals from Kuwait, Jordan, Palestine, UK, USA, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
  • Board of Directors: Consists of 5 members, all residing in the USA.
  • Administrative Staff: Includes 3 outstanding specialists.
  • Graduates and Alumni: A network of 9,570 individuals, most of whom hold Ph.D. degrees.
  • Staff and Regional Representatives

Achieving Our Goals

It is through the collaborative efforts of these dedicated members that ASAI strives to achieve both its short-term and long-term objectives. Our future projects are focused on increasing ASAI’s investment portfolio and expanding the number of student beneficiaries who graduate and contribute to local and regional sectors.

Together, we will continue to build a brighter future, empowering the next generation of leaders and scholars to drive positive change and sustainable development in the Arab States and around the world.
