Said Foundation Scholarship
The Said Foundation offers twenty postgraduate scholarships annually to outstanding individuals from Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan who demonstrate the potential to become leaders and innovators of change.
Scholarships are primarily offered for one-year postgraduate courses but in exceptional circumstances it may be possible to consider applicants for two year courses. The Foundation also offers, exceptionally, one or two PhD/DPhil scholarships a year at Oxford and Cambridge universities only.
