For the past two years, the Fund has expanded its spectrum of potential recipients to include needy students from East Jerusalem, whether or not their aim is to study at al-Quds University. Such students therefore continue to receive scholarships to study at other universities in the country or abroad.
Mindful of the education needs in East Jerusalem as a whole, the Fund also recently made a special award to a local institution to support a program to teach youth in Jerusalem about media harassment. In all cases, then, the aim has been to address educational needs of youth in Jerusalem, whether at university or school levels.
To Mr. Tarek Riyad Al Ghussein, we are grateful for the work that you do.
