When we started the Bseisu Foundation in 2005, Suha and I had a simple conviction: brighter futures begin with access to education. As first- and second-generation refugees, we know how much potential can be lost when financial barriers close the doors to study. Our Foundation exists to help keep these doors open, at least for some students.

20 years later our mission continues to be clearer and more needed than ever. We invest in brighter futures by breaking down the financial barriers to higher education. We support talented students—especially young people, women and refugees—who are ready to work hard, lead with purpose and give back to their communities. In practice, that means postgraduate scholarships in STEM fields at world-class universities across the UK, the United States, the Middle East and Malaysia.

We design our programmes to be rigorous, transparent and fair. All scholarships are administered through university admissions teams or trusted partner organisations; we do not take applications directly. This safeguards academic integrity and ensures that selection is merit-based and needs-aware. Alongside tuition support, we offer a community of mentors, peers and a vibrant alumni network that share experience and open doors.

We work collaboratively with leading universities and partners who share our vision and embrace our belief that talent should never be limited by circumstance.

Our scholars are proof of what becomes possible when opportunity meets determination. They study, research and innovate; they return to their communities as clinicians, engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs. Most importantly, they carry forward a commitment to lift others as they themselves have been lifted.

We remain consistent in our support—to scholars during their studies, to our partners who deliver with integrity, and to the communities we serve. Education is not a quick fix, but it is one of the most powerful tools we have for lasting change.

Thank you for your interest in the Bseisu Foundation. If our values resonate with you, I hope you will follow our scholars’ journeys and, where you can, stand with us in investing in brighter minds and brighter futures. We chose the future! We chose hope!

With thanks,

Amjad Bseisu
