Sustaining Education for Palestinian Women

The Hala Atalla Scholarship Fund was established in 1996 to assist women students, especially those from remote villages and poor backgrounds, to fulfill their ambitions for higher education. The primary aim of the Scholarship Fund has been to try to ensure that no woman would drop out of Birzeit University for financial reasons. A secondary aim is to encourage women to enter fields of study other than the stereotypical “women’s" fields, so that Palestine can benefit from the intelligence and skills of its entire population.
