Are there specific scholarships for students who identify as Arab? I'm trying to find ways to help fund my college education and wondered if there are any opportunities based on my ethnicity.
Absolutely, there are indeed scholarships available specifically for students who identify as Arab. Here are a few to get you started:
1. The Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP) provides multiple scholarships for Arab American students. You can check them out on the CAAP website.
2. The Arab American Institute (AAI) also offers scholarships for Arab American students. These scholarships often focus on students who are engaged in the Arab American community or plan to study fields relevant to Arab American issues.
3. The Network of Arab-American Professionals (NAAP) offers a transformative leaders fellowship which includes a scholarship for specific academic paths.
Remember, some scholarships may be based on field of study, academic merit, location, or community involvement, so be sure to read each scholarship’s specific criteria. Funding college can feel overwhelming, but applying for scholarships like these can certainly help lift the burden. Good luck with your search!
