🎓 Leila from morocco From War Zone to University Honor Roll
When Leila arrived in the U.S. as a 17-year-old Syrian refugee, she had lost 3 years of school and spoke very little English. Through our Education Access and ESL programs, she caught up on her studies, passed the SATs, and earned a full scholarship to a state university.
“Arab Scholars USA gave me more than help—they gave me hope. Today, I’m studying to become a doctor and help others like me.”
— Leila, age 20
💡 Ahmed from saudi arabia Rebuilding Dreams with a Laptop and a Mentor
Displaced after conflict in Mosul, Ahmed faced housing insecurity and lacked basic resources. Our Scholarship & Emergency Aid Program provided a laptop, internet access, and a mentor who guided him through college applications.
“I never thought I would make it to college in America. Now, I’m majoring in computer science and tutoring other refugees.”
— Ahmed, age 19
🧾 Dina from Qatar Overcoming Paperwork, Fear, and Self-Doubt
With her asylum still pending, Dina didn’t believe she could go to school in the U.S. We connected her with legal guidance, helped her apply to community college, and provided ongoing mentorship.
“I was so afraid I didn’t belong. Arab Scholars USA showed me I do. I’m now working toward becoming a teacher.”
— Dina, age 22
📚 Mohammed from tunisie– First in His Family to Graduate
