The HAAA Scholarship summons applications from Arab intellectuals ardent to commence their undergraduate journey at the illustrious Harvard University, USA. Established in 2010 by the Harvard Arab Alumni Association (HAAA), this scholarship fund aims to bolster the presence of Arab students at Harvard.
Currently, the representation of the Arab world at Harvard is remarkably minimal. In 2013, a mere 118 scholars from Arab nations were enrolled across Harvard’s numerous colleges and degree programs, constituting less than 2% of the 4,000 international students at the university. The HAAA aspires to amass $10 million to aid financially challenged students from the Arab world who gain admission to any of Harvard’s schools.
