Completion of First Phase of Pulse of Life Scholarship Interviews – Istanbul / Turkey

Istanbul / Turkey

On Saturday, May 25, 2025, the Isnad Foundation for Supporting the Palestinian Student successfully concluded the first phase of interviews for the Pulse of Life scholarship. This initial phase, conducted remotely over three weeks starting May 5, involved dozens of outstanding Palestinian students specializing in human medicine — both graduates and applicants from Gaza Strip universities.

The purpose of the interviews was to assess each student's academic performance and living conditions to determine their eligibility for support, following their successful completion of the electronic registration and initial screening.

In this phase, launched in strategic partnership with Alkhidmat Europe, the Isnad Foundation provides accepted students with monthly financial support for a full year — a step aimed at easing their academic burdens and enabling them to continue their higher education despite ongoing challenges.

The Pulse of Life scholarship is one of the Isnad Foundation’s leading programs, dedicated to supporting Palestinian students in medical fields — particularly those from the Gaza Strip, whose educational paths have been severely affected by harsh humanitarian conditions, prolonged blockade, and repeated wars.

As part of this ambitious five-year initiative, the program seeks to support around 1,000 Palestinian students in completing their medical studies — investing in young scientific talent and preparing a qualified generation of doctors committed to serving Palestinian society and strengthening its resilience.

The Isnad Foundation is an independent Palestinian non-profit organization committed to supporting higher education in Palestine by providing sustainable educational and developmental scholarships. Guided by a comprehensive vision, the Foundation aims to build and empower the Palestinian individual through science and knowledge.
