Arab students interested in pursuing undergraduate studies at Harvard University in the United States are encouraged to apply for the HAAA Scholarship 2024-25. To further its objective of increasing the number of Arab students at Harvard, the Harvard Arab Alumni Association (HAAA) established the HAAA Scholarship Fund in 2010, the first scholarship fund of its kind at Harvard.
The Arab world no longer makes up a very small portion of Harvard’s student body; in 2013, just 118 students from Arab countries studied at Harvard across all of its colleges and degree programs, making up less than 2% of the university’s 4,000 international students. The goal is to generate $10 million to support financially needy Arab students who are accepted to any Harvard programme.
