Learn about our Alousi Scholars by clicking the years below. 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 About the Fund The Alousi Fund is the first and only one of its kind, and honors the incredible legacy of pioneering research scientist Dr. Adawia Alousi. It is the wish of the Adawia Alousi Trust that the Dr. Adawia Alousi STEM Scholarship Fund for Muslim Women at the Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP) will carry on the accomplishments of this remarkable woman. In a time when self-appointed experts attempt to define the face of the modern Muslim woman, Dr. Alousi’s life reminds us it is only Muslim women who can speak about their lives, careers and choices with true authority. The Fund supports American Muslim women to obtain education within STEM fields – placing highest priority on immigrants and refugees. Dr. Alousi would be honored to welcome you into the sisterhood of scientists (and other STEM careers). Our hope is that beneficiaries of the Fund – Adawia Alousi Scholars – will rise to the top, epitomize excellence in their respective fields, and carry Dr. Alousi’s spirit of generosity forward. About Dr. Adawia Alousi Dr. Adawia Amina Alousi was born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1931 into a tight-knit family who valued education. She was the youngest girl in a family of seven children–3 sisters and 3 brothers. Her father Amin Alousi was a hydraulic engineer and insisted each of his children receive a college education. Prior to his death he left explicit instructions to his oldest son, Adawia’s brother Majid (pictured right), that he ensure each of his youngest siblings attend and graduate from college before marrying; a request which was honored. Adawia gravitated toward science and graduated from University of Baghdad with a degree in pharmacology. Dr. Adawia Alousi with brother Majid In 1958, Adawia’s brother Majid (a physician attending Harvard School of Public Health on scholarship) supported Adawia to come to the US for advanced studies. She graduated with a Master’s Degree from the University of Michigan in 1959 and subsequently went on to earn a Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the State University of New York. After completing a post-doctoral fellowship from Harvard Medical School in 1965, Dr. Alousi went on to lead a life of discovery and development in pharmacology. Her research was well-regarded which is reflected in the body of papers in esteemed medical journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, Circulation, and American Journal of Physiology . Dr. Alousi’s most rewarding work was as lead scientist and Institute Fellow of Cardiovascular Pharmacology at Sterling-Winthrop Research Institu

CAAP Fundholder Dr. Mohammad Othman with his mother and father The Othman Family Scholarship Fund at the Center for Arab American Philanthropy (CAAP) is in honor and a tribute to the remarkable life of Fatimah Lutfi Othman, who passed away on November 28th, 2001. Donations to this fund will support scholarship support for college-bound students at Riverside Academy in Dearborn, Michigan. Give to this fund Fatimah’s Life and Legacy Born in the town of Abu Dis, Palestine in 1927, Fatimah’s journey was one of resilience. Despite facing the challenges of living under occupation, she raised her six children, instilling in them the values of perseverance and the belief in the power of education. Among her children was Dr. Mohammad Othman, the fundholder of this scholarship fund. Dr. Othman recalls his mother’s insistence to dream big. Fatimah, though never given the opportunity to receive a formal education herself, was a huge advocate and supporter in her children’s pursuit for one. The value of persistence was certainly put to the test throughout Dr. Othman’s upbringing. The Six-Day War erupted during his formative years, yet with his mother’s encouragement and support, he went to Jordan for his high school education and later pursued his undergraduate and master studies in biology at the University of Jordan. Returning to Palestine, Dr. Othman taught at Al-Najah University in Nablus, before he got accepted to the University of Michigan in the United States, where he earned his Ph.D. at the School of Public Health. Inspired by his mother’s spirit of giving back, Dr. Othman has also served Riverside Academy board as treasurer for over 18 years. Fatimah was a pillar of her community, known for her open-door policy in Palestine, welcoming any guests into her home and showering them with her hospitality. Mission of this Fund The Othamn Family Scholarship Fund is a testament to the legacy of a remarkable woman whose love, resilience and belief in the power of education continue to inspire generations. A donation to this fund allows her legacy to live on by supporting scholarships for graduating seniors at Riverside Academy in Dearborn, Michigan.

You currently have JavaScript disabled in your web browser, please enable JavaScript to view our website as intended. The University has issued a statement calling for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire in Palestine and Israel. Here are some of the actions we as a University of Sanctuary community have been taking so far (some of which are still in development): We have a number of scholarships that Gazan students can apply for: Like the universities, Gaza’s hospitals have all been severely damaged or destroyed, and medical infrastructure been targeted, so there is an urgent need to support doctors (and medical students) so that they are able to return to Gaza to help rebuild the healthcare system when it is possible to do so. To this end we have developed an innovative scheme - the Displaced Student Initiative - whereby displaced medical students from Gaza and other conflict areas can complete their medical degrees as visiting students at the University of Leicester. We currently have two Gazan students studying with us via this scheme. Further information can be found through contacting Pro

In Gaza, the war of 2023-2025 devastated the education system—damaging or destroying schools, displacing students and teachers, and halting regular instruction. Even before the conflict, many classrooms were overcrowded and run-down, with outdated materials that made it difficult for students to keep pace with their peers. In Lebanon, the influx of Syrian refugees over the past decade-plus, combined with the country’s deepening economic crisis, has severely strained the education system. Today, the added burden of intermittent warfare between Israel and Hezbollah has further disrupted education. Educational aid programs are a cornerstone of Anera's development efforts.

Education is the most powerful tool for transformation for individuals, communities, and entire nations. When you invest in a student's education, you're not just funding tuition. You're investing in a doctor who will heal their community, an engineer who will rebuild infrastructure, a teacher who will educate the next generation, and a leader who will advocate for justice. Education creates a ripple effect that extends far beyond the classroom. Every scholarship is an investment in human potential. Every degree earned is a step toward self-determination. Every educated Palestinian student becomes a force for positive change, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and vision to transform their reality. When you give a student the gift of education, you're not just changing the trajectory of one life, but an entire nation . Every gift you give goes directly towards empowering a student to continue their education and move closer to graduation.

Travel Grant - Scholarships for Euro-Arab Dialogue Search Close Search Travel Grant The travel grant is designed for students and/or professionals seeking professional contact and experience in the Arab World or the Netherlands in the areas of education, science and culture. The objective of the grant is to promote mutual understanding between the Netherlands and the Arab World. Application requirements Since September, my journey has led me to the heart of Jordan, where I’ve been immersed in a training program focused on social work with migrants and refugees. Beyond the academic rigors, Jordan has offered me a wealth of cultural and natural wonders to explore. From the ancient marvels of Petra to the bustling souks of Amman, every corner of this country has something unique to offer. Besides delving into the complexities of humanitarian aid and its positioning in Jordan, I’ve had the opportunity to immerse myself in Jordan’s rich cultural tapestry. From wandering the ancient city of Petra to navigating the vibrant streets of Amman’s souks, I’ve been enchanted by the sights, sounds, and flavors of this country. Even interactions with taxi drivers have become cultural lessons, with hand gestures simplifying the process of ordering a typical Jordanian coffee. – Eline Koopman, Travel scholar 2024 Read Our Alumni Stories Contact Correspondence Address: Lutfia Rabbani Foundation P.O.
