The war in Gaza is having a great impact on students and staff who belong to our community. There is anger and bewilderment at the loss of life and the destruction of educational infrastructure in Gaza. That is why the UvA has set up a fund to provide assistance. We do this in different ways.

We offer financial aid to UvA students from the Palestinian territories or Israel who are in financial need because of the war. We also want to give students and academics from Gaza the opportunity to come and study or work at the UvA. At the same time, we will initiate an exploratory study into long-term funding for academics in war zones.

Immediate help for students in case of financial need now available

Are you an UvA-student from the region requiring financial aid? Find out what criteria apply and how to book an appointment with a student counsellor. You will then look at the possibilities together. Students can apply for help up until 1 July 2024.

Exploratory study into future assistance

We will initiate an exploratory study into how best to provide the other two types of assistance in the long term. More information on this will follow at a later date.
