A Palestinian student based in Gaza, 2024
There are many meaningful ways to support Palestinian students and scholars facing urgent challenges due to ongoing conflict and disruption. You can donate to education, host Palestinian scholars, or volunteer for students to help break down barriers and create real opportunities for education and hope. Now more than ever, your support is vital to sustain these futures.
Your financial support helps talented Palestinian students pursue graduate education abroad. When you choose to donate to education, you play a vital role in funding: university admission fees, visa and travel expenses, and essential operational costs like website upkeep and administration. Every contribution—large or small—directly impacts lives and sustains our mission. Together, we can host Palestinian scholars and open doors to opportunity. If you're passionate about making a difference, consider volunteering for students to further enhance their educational journeys.
Become part of the PSSAR community by volunteering your time and expertise to support our mission. By choosing to volunteer for students, you can help us in various ways, such as coordinating academic matching and outreach, providing mentorship and peer support, and managing communications, events, and digital platforms. Whether you’re an academic, professional, or advocate, your involvement strengthens our impact and builds global solidarity. Additionally, consider ways to donate to education or even host Palestinian scholars, as every action contributes to our collective efforts.
We invite professors and institutions across Canada to open positions in their labs or research groups for qualified Palestinian candidates. By partnering with us to host Palestinian scholars, you can help bridge opportunity gaps while advancing academic equity and global collaboration. If you're passionate about education, consider ways to donate to education initiatives that support these efforts.
We support professors with:
- Candidate vetting and shortlisting
- Interview coordination and selection
- Application and onboarding guidance
- Ongoing touchpoints throughout the student’s academic journey, allowing you to volunteer for students and make a meaningful impact.
