Meritorious and economically challenged students in Lebanon have limited options to join top notch American universities in Lebanon that offer an international curriculum coupled with critical thinking, hence limiting their potential market employability.

OVERVIEW

USAID’s $147.5 million University Scholarship Program (USP), since 2010, offers full scholarship support covering tuition fees, housing expenses, medical insurance, textbooks, and a monthly stipend to students from all over the country. These scholarships enhance students’ job opportunities and sharpen their interpersonal and leadership skills through mandatory participation in community service projects.
