Educational grant funding for scholarships and teaching diplomas over four years for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
Economic Empowerment; Access to Education.
The ULYP Bridge program provides access to university education for capable underserved refugees. This multi-year agreement will see the successful graduation of female Palestinian students in STEM degrees from Eastern Mediterranean University (Northern Cyprus) and Rafik Hariri University (Lebanon) and an annual teaching diploma from Beirut Arab University.
ULYP is a non-profit organization focused on education and empowering marginalized children, youth, and women living in Lebanon. Within the programs that ULYP offer, the Bridge program provides access to university education for capable, high achieving underserved youth. It has recorded 852 graduates located in over 46 countries and supports 3095 secondary students and 2579 tertiary students. More than 80% of the 850 Bridge graduates are now either employed or pursuing their higher education degrees.
We have selected female STEM scholarship recipients in biomedical engineering, computer engineering, and nursing; and an annual teacher diploma during a four year period. Obtaining a teacher diploma after graduation is often a more secure pathway to employability.
