The scholarship helps ensure the student's success every step of the way through financial support, mentoring and advising, hands-on learning, community service, and career counseling. It aims to ensure that the most gifted high school students in Lebanon and the region can boldly aspire to join the next cohort of FAFS students in Agriculture, Food and Environment, and become the future leaders of their communities.
