Nsouli Scholarships
Nsouli Scholarships Programme
The Nsouli Scholarship Program is a global initiative that promises to transform lives by allowing 50 outstanding students to attend any of Inspired's prestigious schools with a full scholarship throughout their education. The ambition is for the scholarship to give hundreds of children the opportunity to receive a truly transformative education. By opening this pathway to exceptional individuals, the program aims to expand the community and empower children from all backgrounds with opportunities in academics, sports, arts, and extracurricular activities. The Nsouli Scholars Programme is an investment in education and in shaping the leaders of the future. This generous donation honors Nadim Nsouli, who founded Inspired in 2013 as a statement of excellence in international private education. In recognition of Mr. Nsouli's Lebanese heritage and Inspired's commitment to inclusion, several scholarships will be granted to individuals of Lebanese origin.
