About Amjad and Suha Bseisu Foundation

The Amjad and Suha Bseisu Foundation was established in 2005 by Amjad and Suha Bseisu, first- and second-generation refugees. Inspired by their own experiences of displacement, the Foundation works to create equal opportunity and empowerment through education, with a particular focus on young people and disadvantaged communities. It values civil society, evidence-informed philanthropy and collaborative, sustainable projects, and prefers to work through partnerships with universities and charities. The Foundation believes that education is a powerful tool for overcoming barriers such as displacement, poverty, and limited access.

What Amjad and Suha Bseisu Foundation funds

The Foundation supports education, poverty and sickness relief, and civil society, with a strong emphasis on higher education scholarships, mentoring and programme grants for educational access and social mobility. Its beneficiaries include talented youth, women and refugees, especially from the Levant (Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Iraq) and Malaysia, as well as global scholars from these regions. It has supported initiatives such as English tutoring for Arab children, arts education for marginalised youth in Lebanon and Jordan, and STEM scholarships for women and refugees.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and academic institutions. The Foundation typically works with medium-to-large organisations that have programme delivery infrastructure. It prioritises young people, women, and refugees, particularly from the Levant region and Malaysia. Funding is exclusively directed through formal partnerships with universities and charities; unsolicited applications are not accepted.
