The University of Balamand extends its heartfelt gratitude to His Highness the Father Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, for granting 31 scholarships to UOB students due to graduate at the end of 2022-2023. This help comes at a very pivotal moment in time, as Lebanon battles its toughest economic crisis yet. It is also a testament to his Highness’ unwavering support and investment in education.

His Highness’s generous grant to our students is among his many philanthropic contributions to education in the region, as he is greatly known for his deep appreciation and passion for academia and the pursuit of knowledge.

His Highness’s scholarships will cover tuition fees for a full year at UOB offering students a unique opportunity to pursue their academic studies gratuitously. The grant targets senior students, facing immense stress in balancing their studies and the burden of their academic finances due to the economic collapse that has been weighting the majority of the Lebanese people down.

The University of Balamand would like to thanks his Highness Sheikh Hamad again, for giving young Lebanese students a glimmer of hope amidst these turbulent times.
