For Palestinian students, earning a university degree can open pathways to meaningful work, service, and a future in their own communities. But economic hardship is making it increasingly difficult for many families to keep higher education within reach.
Bethlehem University remains committed to giving students like Ghassan the education, experiences, and resources they need to move forward.
After a month in the United States this summer, Ghassan returned home more certain of where he belongs.
“Visiting the U.S. made me sure that I want to live in Bethlehem,” he said. “Home to me is not just a location. It’s the family and friends I have here.”

Mary said yes to a future she could not see. Ghassan said yes to an opportunity—and returned ready to build his future in Bethlehem.
Your gift helps Bethlehem University continue saying yes to students like him.
A gift to the Fonds annuel de la Fondation de l'Université de Bethléem strengthens the education, resources, and opportunities that help Palestinian students learn, grow, and prepare for their futures.
