Program
Empowering University Students to
Pursue Academic Excellence
Launched in 2016 by IRADA,
the Tafawwaq Program is a university interest-free loan initiative that
aims to support students who face financial obstacles in continuing their
higher education. Tafawwaq not only provides financial assistance but also
guides students toward academic paths that align with their ambitions and capabilities.
Program
Mission
Tafawwaq is built on the belief that financial hardship should never hinder academic excellence. The program
offers a comprehensive support system that includes funding, guidance, and
access to scholarship opportunities, enabling students to pursue their
university education with confidence and dignity.
Three-Pillar
Support Approach
- 💰 Financial Support: Interest-free university
loans provided through the "Excellence Fund" — students begin
repayment once the loan is accepted.
- 🧭 Academic Guidance: Support in identifying
specializations and programs that match each student’s strengths and
goals.
- 🏛 Scholarship Information: Sharing information
about scholarships available inside and outside Lebanon, as well as
financial aid opportunities at universities.
