Help Palestinian Fulbright Grantees Get Exit Visas from Israel
- Target: U.S. Department of State
- Sponsored by: Worldwide Fulbright Students
Sign this petition TODAY and add your voice to those who believe in the right of EVERY individual to pursue knowledge and education. We would like to transcend political conflicts and pave the way for a better, peaceful future for everyone.
Dear Sir/Madam,
We, the undersigned, Fulbright Students and world citizens for the promotion of education and peace, call on the policy makers at the U.S. Department of State to urge Israel to issue exit visas to our fellow Fulbright grantees in Gaza, Palestine.
We would like to denounce this act of injustice and hindrance to the right of every individual to pursue knowledge and education. The Fulbright Scholarship is the world's most prestigious program for educational excellence and achievement. But above all, it is a program that has as its core mission fostering peace and mutual understanding between nations and peoples.
We would like these to remain the ideals of the Fulbright Scholarship accessible to anyone, anywhere, at any time; and we would like our fellow Palestinian Fulbright Grantees to be given their right to benefit from them, regardless of political conflicts and nonsensical decisions.
Thank you for considering our petition and thank you for your support,

Hi everyone,
I am pleased to announce to you that our fellow Gazan Fulbrighters finally had their grants reinstated by the Department of State!
Thank you all for signing this petition. Our petition was sent to the US Department of State and to AMIDEAST.
This only proves that TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE!
Below is the link to the good news :o)

There are still, however, around 600 students in Gaza (non-Fulbrighters) who are not able to benefit from their study-abroad programs because of the siege.
We hope that all of you who signed this petition and who believe in the freedom of movement and the right to education could join hands one more time and help put pressure on the Israeli government to grant exit visas to the remaining Gazan student grantees.
The new petition is below. Please pass the word along.
