EDUCATION RELIEF FUND at ULYP
This programme is supported by the Al Ghurair Education Relief Fund at ULYP and other donors.
From Emergency to Opportunity
In response to the situation in Gaza, through a replicable modality for the long-term, and in order to build a pipeline of health expertise through educational scholarships and living stipends, ULYP launched the Student Emergency Relief Fund.
The Emergency Relief Fund, launched in May 2024, is supporting Palestinian students in Egypt, Turkey, Jordan, North Cyprus, and other countries with full tuition and/or living costs. Most are enrolled in medical school, and others are pursuing degrees in STEM, business, or media.
Restoring Care
In collaboration with the Ghassan Abou Sittah Children’s Fund (GASCF), the AUB Chair of Conflict Medicine, and The Turkish Council of Higher Education (YÖK), ULYP is implementing the “Restoring Care” project. The initiative aims to support the rebuilding of Gaza’s healthcare system by training a new generation of Palestinian clinician-educators who can restore essential services and re-establish medical training. Through this initiative, residency and fellowship pathways are being established across Lebanon, Türkiye, and other countries.
