Programmes keeping Gaza's students enrolled

These are live, verified programmes — tuition support, shared online platforms, and free courses — that let you continue a degree from inside Gaza.

ISNAD — Taawon tuition support

Pays distance-learning tuition at the Islamic University of Gaza, Al-Azhar University, and Al-Aqsa University — together enrolling the bulk of Gaza’s university students. Priority goes to final-year students and to recovery-critical fields that can be worked remotely.

UNESCO Gaza Virtual Campus

A shared digital platform where Gaza’s universities continue coursework and assessment online — around 20,000 students in the first phase, expanding toward all 88,000. Complemented by five Temporary Learning Spaces (three in Gaza City, one in Khan Younis, one in Deir Al Balah) with blended learning, device and connectivity access, and psychosocial support.

How academic continuity in Gaza works

Academic continuity in Gaza is real despite the destruction of campuses: the UNESCO-supported Gaza Virtual Campus keeps coursework and assessment running online, ISNAD (Taawon) pays distance-learning tuition at Gaza’s three largest universities, the Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza coordinates co-taught international courses, and distance-native options — Al-Quds Open University and the New University in Exile Consortium’s free courses — fill the gaps. Below you will also find every scholarship in our catalog that can be completed online or from Palestine.

  • ISNAD (Taawon) covers tuition for distance learning at the Islamic University of Gaza, Al-Azhar University, and Al-Aqsa University — together enrolling the bulk of Gaza’s university students — with priority for final-year students and recovery-critical, remote-workable fields.
  • The UNESCO Gaza Virtual Campus is a shared digital platform where Gaza’s universities continue coursework and assessment online — around 20,000 students in the first phase, expanding toward all 88,000.
  • Five Temporary Learning Spaces — three in Gaza City, one in Khan Younis, one in Deir Al Balah — offer blended learning with device and connectivity access plus psychosocial support.
  • The Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza coordinates international support and co-taught online courses to keep degrees moving.
  • Al-Quds Open University — Palestine’s distance-native university with West Bank and Gaza branches — and the New University in Exile Consortium’s Palestinian Student Initiative (free online courses plus mentorship) add fully remote options.

Practical notes

  • Connectivity and power are the real constraints, per UNESCO reporting — coursework itself is running. Plan study sessions around available connectivity, and download materials when you have a stable connection.
  • The five Temporary Learning Spaces (Gaza City ×3, Khan Younis, Deir Al Balah) are the place to get device and connectivity access, blended learning, and psychosocial support.
  • Contact your university’s registration office as programmes resume in phases — in-person classes restarted in Al-Mawasi (Khan Younis) in 2026, and faculties are reopening at different speeds.
  • If you study at the Islamic University of Gaza, Al-Azhar University, or Al-Aqsa University, register interest with the ISNAD programme early — final-year students get priority.

Frequently asked questions

Can I continue my university degree from inside Gaza?

Yes. Gaza’s universities continue coursework and assessment online through the UNESCO-supported Gaza Virtual Campus, and the Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza coordinates co-taught online courses with international partners. Programmes are resuming in phases — contact your university’s registration office to confirm your faculty’s status. In-person classes restarted in Al-Mawasi (Khan Younis) in 2026.

What is the UNESCO Gaza Virtual Campus?

A shared digital platform, supported by UNESCO, where Gaza’s universities continue teaching and assessing students online. The first phase serves around 20,000 students and is expanding toward all 88,000 university students in Gaza. It is complemented by five Temporary Learning Spaces — three in Gaza City, one in Khan Younis, and one in Deir Al Balah — offering blended learning, devices, connectivity, and psychosocial support.

What does ISNAD (Taawon) cover and who gets priority?

ISNAD covers tuition for distance learning at the Islamic University of Gaza, Al-Azhar University, and Al-Aqsa University — which together enrol the bulk of Gaza’s university students. Priority goes to final-year students and to fields that are critical for recovery and workable remotely.

I have no reliable internet or device — what can I do?

Connectivity and power are the biggest constraints, per UNESCO reporting. The five Temporary Learning Spaces provide device and connectivity access alongside blended learning and psychosocial support. Ask your university which space is nearest and whether your courses run in a blended format there.

Are there free online courses I can start right now?

Yes. The New University in Exile Consortium’s Palestinian Student Initiative offers free online courses with mentorship, and Al-Quds Open University — Palestine’s distance-native university — runs degree programmes built for remote study across the West Bank and Gaza.
