“Al-Quds University’s Bard College celebrated the graduation of 39 bachelor’s degree students and two master’s degree students today, Tuesday [Aug. 29, 2017]. This program is a Palestinian-American academic partnership whose goal is to increase the students’ opportunities to specialize in the field of humanities. The American administration is the main supporter of this partnership, as it has provided more than $7 million since 2009 to fund scholarships for promising Palestinian students and teachers who aspire to obtain a bachelor’s degree in the humanities.”
