As an unrestricted fund, Bethlehem University Foundation Annual Fund serves three purposes: 1) to make grant funding available to Bethlehem University for annual use, 2) to fund the needs of Bethlehem University Foundation, 3) to make future grants available to Bethlehem University by investing in the endowment.
The Bethlehem University Foundation Annual Fund sustains both the University’s core mission and the Foundation’s essential work: supporting academic programs, strengthening faculty excellence, and providing the scholarships and resources students need to continue their education despite the economic pressures facing families in the Holy Land.
Donors who wish to provide a sustaining and lasting future for Bethlehem University may do so by establishing an Endowed Fund or Endowed Scholarship through the Bethlehem University Foundation.
The Foundation invests each gift in the United States and uses the earnings to provide annual, ongoing support for the designated purpose.
Accounting Major/Marketing Minor
Abdalrhman lives in Hebron, the second largest city in the West Bank, about 14 miles southwest of Bethlehem. He is an accounting major with a minor in marketing. Upon graduation, he aspires to put his “full potential into his business and also help his father with his wholesale businesses.”
In reflecting on what he has learned from his father and grandfather about success, Abdalrhman wishes to emulate them, “I was taught that the money we earn does not belong completely to us, it belongs to the less fortunate people, they are the priority, not your bank account, and I want to grow this seed in the family.”
Bethlehem University has given him both education and experience, but he notes that the University, “grows your personality and social life, your networking skills, and how you attract people that could help you. It’s the environment and the diversity of students that means so much.”

Scholarship recipients are selected by Bethlehem University based on need and academic merit. With a gift of $30,000, you can establish an Endowed Scholarship. An Endowed Scholarship is fully funded at $100,000 and will cover the full costs associated with educating one student at Bethlehem University each year. With an initial payment of at least $30,000 accompanied by a signed Pledge Agreement, an Endowed Scholarship will be established by the Foundation.

An Annual Scholarship provides one student with the gift of education. Annual Scholarships are $4,000 per year, for four years. While that might not seem like much, it is very expensive for a Palestinian student where minimum wage is roughly just over $500 a month in the West Bank.
By committing to the four-year education of one student, you will be able to follow your student’s progress and learn a little bit about their life and dreams.
إحدى الطرق الأكثر تأثيرًا التي يمكنك من خلالها دعم جامعة بيت لحم هي رعاية الطالب، سواء كان ذلك منحة دراسية كاملة أو جزء من المنحة الدراسية.
يحصل الطلاب الذين يتم قبولهم في جامعة بيت لحم تلقائيًا على منحة دراسية بقيمة 50-60%. نحن بحاجة لمساعدتكم في التأكد من حصول جميع الطلاب على الدعم اللازم لتلقي التعليم في الجامعة الكاثوليكية المسيحية الوحيدة في الأرض المقدسة.
