Education support

Three students. Three paths forward.

Salsabeel helps students in Egypt cover the costs that can make university impossible even after they have earned a place.

In 2026, we are supporting Shaimaa, Tuqa and Safia with approximately $4,500 CAD in total. The support is different for each student because the barrier is different: tuition and supplies, transportation, accommodation, or the basic cost of living away from home.

Our students

Support built around what each student actually needs.

There is no standard scholarship amount. We look at the practical gap that could prevent a student from continuing and support that gap.

01

Shaimaa

Alexandria University · Radiologic Technology

Shaimaa is from Siwa Oasis and became Salsabeel's first university bursary student in 2025. Her program requires her to live away from her family in Alexandria during the school year.

She completed her first year in 2026 with an overall result of Excellent. Her goal is to graduate in 2027 and return to Siwa to work as a radiologic technologist and serve her community.

Salsabeel helps with education and living costs while she studies away from home.

02

Tuqa

Cairo University · Engineering

Tuqa is beginning the preparatory year in Cairo University's Faculty of Engineering after graduating from high school with a 91.25% average.

She comes from a large family living on a very limited income. University is within reach academically, but tuition, daily travel and the materials required for engineering create costs her family cannot reasonably cover.

Salsabeel helps with tuition, engineering supplies, transportation and basic living expenses.

03

Safia

Horus University · Applied Health Science Technology

Safia is studying Applied Health Science Technology at Horus University in Damietta. She has already earned a scholarship that covers her university fees.

The remaining challenge is the cost of studying in another city. Her family cannot cover the accommodation and transportation she needs in order to make use of the scholarship she has already earned.

Salsabeel helps cover accommodation and transportation so she can continue her studies.

A growing program

From one university student to three.

Salsabeel's university support program began with Shaimaa in 2025. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we were able to add Tuqa and Safia in 2026 while continuing the commitment we had already made to Shaimaa.

We would love to grow the program further. We receive applications from many deserving students whose families cannot afford the costs of university, and every year we have to turn away students we would like to help simply because we do not have enough funding.

Your support can help us say yes to more students.

Help us support the next student

Donations to education allow us to take on more students when funding is available and continue building a program that can reach more deserving students across Egypt.

What support covers

The costs that sit between a student and the classroom.

Not every student receives every type of support. Funding is based on the student's actual situation and verified costs.

01

Tuition and fees

Required tuition, registration and other university charges where these are not already covered.

02

Transportation

Daily travel to campus and essential travel connected to a student's studies.

03

Accommodation and living

Essential costs for students who must live away from their families in order to attend university.

04

Books and supplies

Textbooks, engineering or course materials, equipment and other items required for study.

How we work

We verify the need, pay for specific costs and stay involved.

Salsabeel works directly with students and families and reviews the costs they are facing before deciding what support we can provide.

1
Understand the situation We review enrollment, study costs, family circumstances and other support the student already receives.
2
Pay specific costs Where possible, payments go directly to universities, landlords or other providers rather than as unrestricted cash.
3
Follow the student's progress We stay in touch through the school year and continue to review what is needed.
4
Keep donations focused on beneficiaries Salsabeel's founders cover administrative expenses, so 100% of donations go directly to beneficiaries.
Student updates

We stay in touch as students move through their programs.

Shaimaa completed her first year with an Excellent result.

Shaimaa completed her first year in 2026 with an overall result of Excellent. Tuqa and Safia are beginning their first year of support with Salsabeel, and we will share updates on all three students as their studies continue.

School fee support

Education support beyond university.

Our university program is not the only way Salsabeel has helped students stay in school. During a visit to Al Salam School in Siwa, we learned that graduating students still owed required school fees.

20 Graduating students had their outstanding school fees paid so they could sit their final exams.

This was a separate, one-time school support project. Our current university program provides ongoing support to Shaimaa, Tuqa and Safia.

Support education

Help us continue the commitment and prepare for the next student.

Our 2026 education funding is fully allocated. Donations to education help us continue supporting students already in the program and build capacity to take on future students when funding allows.

Education assistance applications are closed for the remainder of 2026. We hope to accept new applications in 2027, subject to available funding. View the current assistance status →
