UNHCR | Help refugee students
"My personal journey exemplifies the resilience and determination of refugee girls and shows that by empowering us through education we can break the cycle of hardship and provide a path towards a brighter future. If you seize every opportunity, no one and nothing can hinder you from achieving what you want." - Monicah Malith Law student in Kenya.
Talented, passionate students should be supported to thrive, pursue their dreams, and become leaders in their fields of study and their communities. Sadly, today, only 7% of refugees have access to higher education compared to 42% among non-refugees. UNHCR and partners are committed to achieving enrolment of 15% of young refugee women and men in higher education by the year 2030.
UNHCR has launched the Aiming Higher campaign so that currently un-funded refugees can also attend higher education.
