The problem
Students in conflict regions, including Syria, are often unable to access quality higher education due to lack of resources, institutional knowledge and finances. This has created a generation that will never receive the education they deserve, despite their potential. Creating greater access to higher education opportunity is particularly important in conflict zones, where an educated populace is essential to rebuilding the economy, improving public health and restoring a safer society.
Our Approach
SYE promotes access to higher education for refugees and youth impacted by social and political instability. SYE works with a group of committed mentors in the US to provide one-on-one mentorship throughout students’ college application processes while also helping to relieve the financial and logistical burdens of applying to college.
