إسناد تُنفذ جولات دعم إقليمي وتُطلق منحًا تعليمية عاجلة لطلبة غزة المتضررين من الحرب

We are thrilled to announce a new strategic partnership between the Isnad Foundation and Istanbul University, one of Turkey's most prestigious educational institutions. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to expand educational opportunities for Palestinian students.

The partnership will create dedicated pathways for Palestinian students to access undergraduate and graduate programs at Istanbul University, with special consideration for those facing financial barriers or displacement due to conflict.

"This partnership represents a meaningful step forward in our commitment to providing quality education for Palestinian students," said Dr. Mahmoud Abbas, Executive Director of the Isnad Foundation. "Istanbul University's academic excellence and inclusive approach make them an ideal partner in this mission."

Key components of the partnership include:

• Reserved spots for qualified Palestinian students across various academic departments

• Joint scholarship programs covering tuition and living expenses

• Collaborative research opportunities for faculty and graduate students

• Cultural exchange initiatives to foster understanding and connection

• Language support programs to help students transition to Turkish-language instruction

Professor Mehmet Yılmaz, Rector of Istanbul University, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: "We are honored to partner with the Isnad Foundation to provide educational opportunities for talented students who have faced significant challenges. This partnership aligns with our university's values of academic excellence, diversity, and social responsibility."

The first cohort of students under this partnership will begin their studies in the Fall 2023 semester. Information sessions about available programs and application procedures will be held virtually in the coming weeks.
