Study for a Master’s Degree in the UK
The KRSF is able to provide full or partial scholarships for masters’ degrees at universities around the UK depending on the level of financial need or whether other grants are available to applicants. While we are able to provide full funding, we are also happy to provide matching funds.
In addition, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (the FCO) and the KRSF jointly fund up to 10 KRSF/Chevening awards annually for postgraduate study.
The Foundation can also consider distance learning courses and shorter postgraduate courses at accredited UK academic institutions.

Each year the Foundation supports 15 to 20 scholars who are registered Palestinian refugees to pursue first degrees (Bachelor Degrees) at accredited universities in the region. The scheme is administered by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) who will advertise the awards and select scholars according to the following criteria:
Candidates must be aged between 18 and 21, having completed secondary education within the last two years;
Candidates should be unable to afford to complete a university degree due to their economic circumstances;
Candidates must excel in their final secondary school examinations;
Scholarships are available for four- or five-year university degree course in liberal arts/social sciences, law, business, public administration or applied sciences in an accredited university in the target countries/territories;
Successful candidates must not be beneficiaries of any other scholarship scheme.
Interested applicants who meet the above criteria are advised to make further enquiries through UNRWA.

This scholarship is awarded nearly every year to two Israeli citizens; one Arab and one Jewish. These students, along with the two recipients of the Judd and Jennifer Malkin Israeli Scholarship, bring reality and personal commitment to the campus discussion of peaceful coexistence in Israel and in the world in general. The Slifka Scholarship will be awarded for fall 2008.
Applicants must be Israeli citizens, demonstrate strong academic achievement and English proficiency and have been involved significantly in coexistence efforts. The Common Application and additional international forms are required; no special form is required for an applicant to be considered for the Slifka Scholarship. An interview by invitation of the Selection Committee is required; these will be conducted in Israel in February. Dual US and Israeli citizens are not considered for this award.

These scholarships are jointly awarded with International Students House.
