This was the first grant to be drawn from the Special Grant Account for Palestine which has been established with an initial endowment of US$10 million. The grant focused on support to the education sector; it supplemented financing from the Arab Fund to provide grants to nine non-governmental, non-profit universities to directly cover the tuition fees of needy students.
