Alexandria University’s Symposium to Introduce Students With Disabilities to Fulbright Commission Scholarships

Under the auspices of Professor Dr. Abdelaziz Konsowa, President of Alexandria University, the University’s Taha Hussein Centre for students with disabilities, organised the first symposium of its kind for its students, in the presence of Dr. Maggie Nassif, President of the American Fulbright Commission, to introduce them to the scholarships offered by the Commission to study in the United States of America.


Dr. Mona Al-Moataz Billah, Executive Director of the Centre, indicated that the symposium included a review of the scholarships available for this year and the admission conditions. All students’ questions were answered and printed copies were distributed in Braille to explain the scholarships and conditions, pointing out that there are other copies inside the centre for those students who wish to read them.



Dr. Ibrahim Emara, a graduate of the Fulbright Commission, presented his personal experience of traveling and learning abroad, his ability to challenge his visual impairment, obtaining a scholarship and completing his post-doctoral studies in the United States of America, funded by the Commission.
