The HAAA Scholarship is open to Arab students seeking to pursue undergraduate studies at Harvard University in the USA. In 2010, the Harvard Arab Alumni Association (HAAA) established the HAAA Scholarship Fund, the first of its type at Harvard, to increase the number of Arab students at the university.
In 2013, just 118 students from Arab nations, which is less than 2% of the total 4,000 students at Harvard, were enrolled in the university’s various colleges and degree programmes. The objective is to secure $10 million to support economically disadvantaged students from the Arab countries who are admitted to any of the Harvard Schools.
