For many students in Gaza, the dream of higher education has come to a devastating halt. Universities are damaged, classrooms have been destroyed, and countless young people who once studied to become doctors, teachers, and engineers now face a future filled with uncertainty.
At Human Concern USA, we believe that even in crisis, education must continue. That is the purpose behind our Gaza Scholarship Program, to keep learning alive.
Education Interrupted
Before the conflict, Gaza’s universities were among the few places where students could imagine a different future. Today, that future has been put on hold. Education has been halted almost entirely. Campuses are closed, and access to books, internet, and safe spaces for study has vanished.
Many students who were close to graduating in medicine, nursing, and teaching now struggle simply to survive. Yet their determination remains. They continue to dream of rebuilding Gaza, one hospital, one classroom at a time.
Reviving Learning Through the Gaza Scholarship Program
Human Concern USA’s Gaza Scholarship Program was created to help these students return to learning as soon as conditions allow. The program provides financial assistance to undergraduate students who have lost everything, from tuition and materials to housing and basic living support.
Each scholarship is designed to give students time and stability to continue their education. The program also works toward establishing a new medical education hub in Gaza, a secure and equipped space where students can safely study, take exams, and rebuild their academic path.
This is not just about paying tuition. It is about protecting a generation of future doctors, nurses, and educators whose skills will be essential in Gaza’s recovery.
A Scholarship That Goes Beyond the Classroom
When you donate to the scholarship fund, you are doing more than providing financial support. You are helping preserve the possibility of education itself.
Each contribution helps fund education scholarships and grants for undergraduate students in Gaza and among displaced Gaza students in Egypt and Turkey. A scholarship for an undergraduate student in Gaza costs around $2,250, while those displaced in Egypt or Turkey may require $3,000–$4,000 depending on local expenses.
These are not abstract numbers. They represent real people, future doctors who will tend to the wounded, future teachers who will restore classrooms, future leaders who will rebuild a nation.
Why This Matters Now
As the year ends, many of us reflect on where our donations can do the most good. Supporting students in Gaza means restoring the foundations of hope. It means choosing education over despair, and investing in people who will rebuild their communities long after the crisis has passed.
When you fund a scholarship with Human Concern USA, your donation becomes a bridge, from halted classrooms to renewed learning, from loss to opportunity.
Donate to the Gaza Scholarship Fund, and help turn survival into scholarship, and scholarship into the future of Gaza.
