The number of students requesting financial assistance increased dramatically in 2019-20 due to the deteriorating economic circumstances in the country, the restrictions on bank accounts that made it all but impossible for people to access their savings, the impact of COVID-19 on an already devastated economy, and the August 4 explosion in the Beirut port.
We want to introduce you to just a few of the 1,764 students who received support from 559 donor-funded scholarships in 2019-20. Here is a list of endowed and current donor-funded scholarships that have been established at AUB. There are also students who are receiving support from scholarship programs funded by the university and philanthropic foundations.
There are thousands of students like AbdulRazzak, Cathalina, and Faten who need support. To learn more about ways to support our students, please email us at advancement@aub.edu.lb
