Today in Beirut, Administrator Samantha Power announced USAID will provide $50 million for Lebanese and refugee students to attend the American University of Beirut (AUB), Lebanese American University (LAU), and Notre Dame University-Louaize (NDU).<\/P>
<\/P>
Of the $50 million, $15 million will support 140 full undergraduate scholarships to AUB and LAU for financially disadvantaged yet academically meritorious students.<\/P>
<\/P>
The remainder of the funds will provide partial need-based financial aid for about 3,500 students over the next three years to help students who can no longer afford tuition amidst Lebanon\u2019s economic crisis.<\/P>
<\/P>
Since 2010, USAID has provided more than $156 million in full undergraduate scholarships to more than 1,600 Lebanese and refugee students who might not otherwise be able to attend a university. USAID also works closely with these universities to prepare students with technical and manufacturing skills applicable to emerging sectors, such as solar power.<\/P>
<\/P>
This new funding reflects USAID\u2019s continued commitment to empowering youth to shape Lebanon\u2019s future.<\/P>
