Help four displaced Gazans attend UO

Thanks to the UO’s new International Crisis Scholarship Fund, we are working to bring Palestinian students whose university programs were abruptly cut short due to the war in Gaza to study at the University of Oregon. Once the $250K fundraising goal is met and visas are secured, they will travel with their families to resume their educational dreams. Link to donate: International Crisis Scholarship Fund
- Please write in “Gaza Students” when asked about the specific crisis to support.
