Timeline

About the Bseisu Foundation The Amjad and Suha Bseisu Foundation work directly with scholars, universities, partners and charities to further their mission of development through accessible education. The Foundation primarily provides higher education scholarships in the UK, US, Middle East and Malaysia, working to reduce financial barriers to education, with a focus on youth, women and refugees in STEM. The charity was co-Founded in 2005 by Amjad Bseisu alongside his wife, Suha. Both had experienced life as first- and second- generation refugees respectively and wanted to give back, sharing a belief that the cornerstone of human development is empowering youth through education and accessibility. The Bseisu Foundation supports students financially through their studies as well as providing a community with shared experiences and a vibrant, high-achieving alumni network.
