Two Pathways. One Mission: Academic Access & Justice for Palestinian Scholars

PSSAR supports exceptional Palestinian students and scholars by helping them access fully funded, research-based graduate opportunities in Canada. We are a non-profit, volunteer-led initiative that facilitates academic placements through a network of partner institutions and professors. We do not provide direct scholarships or immigration services—but we do help students get there.

Helping exceptional Palestinian students access fully funded graduate research opportunities in Canada.


We work with recent graduates—especially from Gaza and the West Bank—to match them with professors and institutions seeking strong academic talent. While PSSAR does not fund scholarships directly, we guide applicants through every step of the process.


What we offer

  • Personalized academic matching with faculty and programs
  • Application and admissions guidance
  • Limited support for non-academic costs (e.g., visa or application fees)
  • Pre-departure orientation and integration support in Canada

Who is this for?

Palestinian students or early-career scholars with strong academic records (typically within 4 years of graduation). Priority is given to applicants from Gaza.

Partnering with Canadian faculty to host high-achieving Palestinian graduate students and scholars.


We invite professors and institutions across Canada to open positions in their labs or research groups for qualified Palestinian candidates. By partnering with us, you can help bridge opportunity gaps while advancing academic equity and global collaboration.


We support professors with:

  • Candidate vetting and shortlisting
  • Interview coordination and selection
  • Application and onboarding guidance
  • Ongoing touchpoints throughout the student’s academic journey

Why get involved?

Many Palestinian students possess outstanding potential but face barriers to accessing global academic networks. As a professor, you can play a vital role in opening those doors by offering funded placements in your research program.

Twin Labs

Fostering peer-level research partnerships between Palestinian and Canadian labs.

 

The Twin Labs Program is designed to facilitate direct, faculty-level and research-lab-level partnerships between Palestinian scholars and their Canadian counterparts. These structured, long-term collaborations are rooted in academic equality and shared scholarly goals—empowering co-creation in research, teaching, and mentorship.


Collaborations may include (but not limited to):

  • Joint research projects and co-authored publications
  • Virtual seminars, guest lectures, and colloquia
  • Co-development of academic curricula and open educational resources
  • Mentorship and peer exchange for faculty and graduate students
  • Research advising and collaborative supervision
  • Sharing of datasets, methodologies, and best practices

Twin your lab

Each partnership is tailored to the goals, capacities, and contexts of participating scholars. This initiative affirms that Palestinian academic knowledge is essential to global inquiry and academic justice.
