The HAAA Scholarship extends a warm invitation to Arab students interested in pursuing undergraduate studies at Harvard University, USA. Established in 2010 by the Harvard Arab Alumni Association (HAAA), this scholarship aims to increase the representation of Arab students at Harvard.
Despite its global reputation, Harvard's student body comprises only a small fraction from the Arab world. In 2013, out of 4,000 students across all programs, merely 118 hailed from Arab nations, constituting less than 2%. To address this disparity, the HAAA Scholarship Fund endeavors to raise $10 million to support economically disadvantaged Arab students admitted to any Harvard school.
