We invest in brighter futures.
Our mission is to break down financial barriers to higher education. We support bright students across the world to pursue higher education.
We believe that the cornerstone of human development is empowering youth through education and accessibility. Intended for those unable to afford full-time study abroad, we provide scholarships for passionate and committed individuals and provide them with the support they need to maximise their educational experience.
We focus primarily on supporting young people, women and refugees who want to study STEM degrees at postgraduate level. We provide scholarships at internationally renowned universities across the UK, Ireland, US, Middle East and Malaysia.
All of our scholarship programmes are administered through university admissions departments or partner organisations and we do not receive applications ourselves. This allows us to ensure academic integrity through the application process.
We support our students financially through their studies as well as providing a community with shared experiences and a vibrant, high-achieving alumni network.
We work directly with scholars, universities, partners and charities to further our mission of development through accessible education.

Letter from our co-founder
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.
