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.”
La création d'une bourse d'études à la Fondation de l'Université de Bethléem est un don perpétuel qui couvre chaque année les frais de scolarité d'un étudiant dans le besoin à l'Université de Bethléem. Une bourse de dotation, nommée d'après une organisation ou en l'honneur/à la mémoire d'un individu, est une « bourse éternelle », permettant à la Fondation de l'Université de Bethléem d'investir votre don et d'envoyer le revenu annuel à l'Université de Bethléem.
Une liste complète des bourses et des fonds dotés peut être trouvée ici.
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.
Des fonds de dotation ont été créés pour financer des facultés (écoles) ou des programmes spécifiques de l'université, pour fournir un soutien général à l'université, pour financer le développement éducatif, pour financer des programmes de la Fondation ou pour d'autres utilisations spécifiées par le donateur. Les fonds de dotation sont gérés par le conseil d'administration de la Fondation et sont investis auprès de T. Rowe Price. Avec un don initial de $30 000 et une promesse de don d'au moins $100 000 payable sur 5 ans, vous pouvez créer un fonds de dotation à la Fondation de l'Université de Bethléem. Veuillez noter que de nombreux fonds de dotation sont créés par des particuliers ou des organisations mettant en commun leurs dons.

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.
L'un des moyens les plus efficaces de soutenir l'Université de Bethléem est de parrainer un étudiant, qu'il s'agisse d'une bourse complète ou d'une partie d'une bourse.
Les étudiants acceptés à l'Université de Bethléem reçoivent automatiquement une bourse 50-60%. Nous avons besoin de votre aide pour garantir que tous les étudiants reçoivent le soutien nécessaire pour recevoir une éducation dans la seule université catholique-chrétienne de Terre Sainte.
