An HCAE statement on Sunday said the scholarships
are part of the association’s cooperation agreement with Jordanian-Palestinian
Business Forum and the NAF.
At least 71 students, who got a 90 percent score or
above in the General Secondary Education Certificate Examination, commonly
known as
Tawjihi, benefited from the agreement. Their families also benefit
from NAF’s aid, the statement added.
NAF Acting Director General Barq Damour said the
plan is to provide university education to family members benefiting from its
programs, and contribute to empowering those groups economically.
He lauded HCAE’s support and implementation of the
agreement signed with NAF, which sets the stage for giving out university
scholarships to beneficiaries from the fund’s programs.
This agreement serves underprivileged families, and
contributes to alleviating their burdens in terms of university education
expenses, he pointed out.
Established in 2007, HCAE seeks to assist needy
university students to pursue their degrees, and then prepare alumni to join
the labor market by holding workshops to improve their social orientation.
