Global Scholarship Programme

Initiated by Hermann Gmeiner Fonds Deutschland e.V. (HGFD), this comprehensive programme empowers and supports young individuals who have benefitted from services offered by SOS Children’s Villages. The program focuses on awarding scholarships to young individuals during their last stage of education based on specific selection criteria, emphasizing academic achievements, motivation, social responsibility, and leadership qualities. Currently supporting 200 students aged 18 to 34 years old at the start of their studies, the programme strives to foster economic independence and academic success, and also focuses on equipping the young individuals with the required financial and psychosocial resources that are essential for them to succeed in their studies.

SOS Children’s Villages Jordan introduced the Global Scholarship Program for SOS youth/graduates in the Arab World. This exceptional opportunity covers all expenses, including tuition, housing, medical insurance, and pocket money, enabling you to pursue your dream bachelor’s or master’s degree at one of the top universities in Jordan.

As a politically stable, culturally diverse, and strategically located country in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) Region, Jordan is committed to building a robust education system, with a focus on becoming a regional hub for technology and innovation. Jordan's universities shine on the global stage, with 41,850 international students from 109 countries studying at Jordanian universities. This data was reported in March 2023 by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.
