LIFE Generation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its objects centre on Lebanese citizens and people of Lebanese descent, and its scholarships are for Lebanese students in financial need, so a request that serves that community fits best.
- Its stated geographic focus is the world, but that does not make it open to any applicant.
- For scholarships, the LIFE Scholarship gives up to $6,000 a year for study in Lebanon and up to $12,000 a year for study abroad, and it does not fund Business Administration (excluding Marketing), undergraduate study outside Lebanon or graduate study inside Lebanon.
- Education funding goes through vetted organisations after careful assessment and due diligence, so expect scrutiny rather than a quick decision.
- No application process is published in its annual report or on its website, so ask the contact it shows whether a proposal would be considered before writing one.
