We are thrilled to announce that Israa Aljaish, our scholar for 2022-23, graduated in September 2023 with her MSc in International Education from the University of St Andrews. Israa’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable, marked by determination and resilience.
As Israa reflects on her graduation, she shares:
“Officially graduated from the University of St Andrews this year! It wasn’t this easy, nor was it this light when we decided to celebrate. I was not able to contact my family, mum, and my daughter to see me getting my certificate and that is due to what is happening right now in Gaza. I dedicate this to my father’s soul, to pure Gaza’s soul, to the souls of all our beloved martyrs. May they have eternal peace. To my mother’s heart, my daughter, my grandmother, and the hearts of my brothers, teachers, and friends… Finally got my Master of Science in International Education.”
We stand in solidarity with Israa and her family, hoping for their safety and a brighter future. Congratulations, Israa, on your well-deserved success. May your journey ahead be filled with continued accomplishments and prosperity.
