THE IAC HOPE SCHOLARSHIP FUND
the mission
the challenge
The IAC Hope Scholarship Fund's mission is to unlock access to higher education for talented young people facing financial hardship, displacement, and conflict.
The Fund addresses one of the most pressing barriers to long-term stability and self-reliance: access to quality education. With investment in education, the IAC seeks to move beyond short-term aid and create lasting, generational impact—empowering young people to rebuild their lives, support their families, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Let's give them hope for their future.
the challenge
the challenge
Across the MENA region, thousands of capable and motivated students are are prevented from pursuing higher education due to:
• Prolonged conflict and instability
• Economic hardship and unemployment
• Restricted mobility & limited access to universities
Without intervention, these barriers reinforce cycles of poverty, dependency, and lost potential.
The pilot phase
The IAC has successfully funded and delivered a pilot phase through a formal partnership with An-Najah National University in Nablus.
Through this collaboration, the Scholarship Fund is currently supporting four undergraduate students, covering their tuition in Year 2 and enabling them to continue their education despite severe financial constraints.
The students are funded for the academic year ending in July 2026.
programme details

Our pilot programme focused on Palestine, where the needs are particularly acute at present.
It supports high-achieving, financially disadvantaged male and female students who demonstrate strong academic potential but lack the means to continue their undergraduate studies.
At its initial stage, the programme prioritises disciplines with high employability and long-term economic impact, including:
• Computer Science
• Computer Engineering
• Technology and digital innovation fields
These areas were carefully selected to equip students with future-ready, in-demand skills, enabling them to secure sustainable employment, foster innovation, and contribute to economic resilience within their communities.

The Fund was soft launched in 2025 utlising the Charities own funds left by our founder with the goal of illustrating to future donors our belief that it would be a success. And it has.
We are now looking to expand to two further universities in Palestine in the 2026/2027 financial year.
Donations of ANY AMOUNT will surely have a positive impact but we do hope that you would consider becoming a Founding Member Donor by making a donation of:
• Bachelors Level Donor: £2,000l covers the full annual tuition for one undergraduate student per year
• Masters Level Donor: £4,000 – Supporting two students for one academic year
• Phd Level Donor: £10,000 – offers huge support for multiple students as well as allowing the programme to expand to reach other needy MENA countries
With further contributions, the IAC Education Scholarship Fund is aiming to expand its programme to reach a total of at least 12 students by September 2026.
your donation can give someone a future!
