Initiatives to support Palestinian students, academics and universities 🍉🍓 
Below is a list of initiatives and resources to support Palestinian students, academics and universities (please see below), particularly in the UK and Ireland (but some opportunities are further afield). Please use the form below to add to this list, and please share widely. 

Please note, the purpose of the form (below the list) is for organisations to share information about initiatives / resources so that they can be added to the list below, and to give other organisations ideas about initiatives they may also wish to develop. 

I am unable to respond to requests from individuals who are looking for scholarships, fellowships, etc. However: 
  • if you are a Gazan student looking to complete your studies, please refer to the links in the list below and email the relevant contacts directly. If you require support identifying suitable opportunities, you can request this by contacting Mosaik Education via this form or the Gazan Student Support Network for support via this form or the Amal Initiative via this form. If you require help applying for a scholarship, plus support with visa/travel practicalities, you can contact the Gaza Scholarship Initiative for Displaced Students via this form
  • If you are a Gazan academic looking for a fellowship, please refer to the section related to fellowships in the list below
