Scholarships for Palestinian students?
Please donate to UPA’s Mahmoud Darwish Scholarship Fund and I will run a half-Marathon.
Distressed as we all are by the horrific situation in Gaza, I decided to break the chains of helplessness by training with the Iqraa Running Club to run a race in the fall. 100% of the donations to my campaign will go to United Palestinian Appeal’s Mahmoud Darwish Scholarship Fund. For no added cost, your donation inspires my team at Iqraa and I to keep going and support each other through these difficult times.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Details below …

UPA has partnered with the Iqraa Running Club in the Washington, D.C. area since 2008 to raise money for Palestinian students studying at universities in Palestine and Jordan through UPA’s Mahmoud Darwish Scholarship Fund.
Iqraa, which means “read” in Arabic, has trained nearly 180 runners to successfully complete the Baltimore or Prince William Half-Marathon and the Marine Corps Marathon or 10K, and raised over $400,000 since 2008. In 2023, Iqraa runners wearing the red and white jersey raised over $31,000 to support Palestinian students.
In view of the dire need this year, help Team Iqraa reach >$30,000 in 2024!
UPA’s Mahmoud Darwish Scholarship Fund has helped 3,000 Palestinian students realize their dream of higher education. UPA is currently committed to supporting 78 students at 16 universities complete their higher education.
