I’m a Palestinian student who never gave up on his dream of studying — I’m looking for advice or an opportunity
Hello everyone,
I’m a Palestinian from Hebron, and I’m writing this because I honestly don’t know where else to turn.
I graduated from high school (Scientific Stream) in 2018 with a 97.4% average. I always wanted to continue my education and study engineering, especially Industrial Engineering, but unfortunately, I was not able to start or complete university because of difficult financial and personal circumstances.
Years have passed, but I still haven’t given up on this dream.
I’m now trying again to find a way to study for a bachelor’s degree abroad, preferably in English. I’m looking for a fully funded scholarship that could cover tuition and, if possible, accommodation and living expenses.
Being Palestinian has also made my situation more complicated. The circumstances in my country have made education, travel, finances, and planning for the future extremely difficult. I’m not looking for someone to simply give me money — I’m looking for an opportunity, advice, a scholarship, a university, an organization, or even someone who knows where I should start.
I have the motivation to study and I’m willing to work extremely hard. I just need someone to point me toward a realistic opportunity.
If you know of:
Fully funded bachelor’s scholarships for international/Palestinian students
Universities that offer significant financial aid
Organizations that support students from conflict-affected areas
Universities that may consider students with a non-traditional education timeline
Any other possible path to study Industrial Engineering abroad
I would genuinely appreciate your advice.
I know that 2018 was a long time ago, and I know my situation may not fit the usual scholarship profile. But I still believe that it’s not too late to start.
If you’ve been in a similar situation, or you know someone who has, please tell me how you managed to find a way forward.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
