Since its establishment in 2017 by a group of Palestinian-Americans in Chicago, the Palestinian Students Scholarship Fund (PSSF) has been dedicated to empowering Palestinian students to pursue their dreams through higher education. Our founders recognized the severe lack of funding and support for Palestinian university students during their visits to Palestine. These students encounter substantial economic, social, and financial challenges, along with discrimination that is often overlooked.

With the generous support of donors like you, PSSF now provides scholarships to Palestinian students across 14 partner universities. In 2024, we proudly launched our newest program, The Gaza Initiative, further expanding our reach and impact.
