Behind every scholarship is a student rebuilding a future after surviving the genocide in Gaza.
Despite the ongoing Israeli wars against Palestine, the construction of imposing walls and barriers, and the rise of extremist governments, people have still managed to come together in their love of Gaza.
Younis H. Undergraduate — Bucknell University, USAIn Gaza, survival itself is uncertain, where war does more than destroy buildings. It breaks continuity, hope, and personhood. When I was at my lowest — after months reporting from a warzone and trying to evacuate under impossible conditions — it was GSI that picked me up. They didn't just nominate me for a scholarship, they walked with me.
Abdullah Master's Graduate — Trinity College Dublin, IrelandAmid the destruction of universities back home in Gaza, GSI became a beacon of hope for me and many students like me. They helped us evacuate safely to Egypt, from where we took our first step to continuing our educational voyage. But their support didn't stop there — they guided me to lawyers and therapists. They understood that navigating this new reality required more than just academic help.

But more than that, it gave me emotional strength and faith that there are still good people who care and believe in us. Thank you for believing in me and for giving me the chance to make my dream come true.
