Students Aid

Students at Oxford's Jesus College have donated to a scholarship fund for a soon-to-be classmate. The idea came from graduate Emily Dreyfus after she learned that few if any students living in Gaza have ever had the opportunity to study at Oxford. Between the fund, reduced tuition from the university, and the help of three charities, 19-year-old Rawan Yaghi, a student of literature who won the spot, will be traveling to England. "I really appreciate that Emily believed in people here and she gave somebody like me a life changing chance," she says: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22019545
