About Us
Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins, CEO
World Learning believes that the best hope for peace, justice, and sustainability lies in bringing people together. Through cultural immersion, experiential learning, and information sharing, our programs equip others to collaboratively address the most pressing issues of our time.
Throughout my years at World Learning, I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet with many of our participants, partners, and alumni—a global network of learners. Our programs help them understand other cultures, master new skills, and cultivate networks. Our teaching and training methodologies empower them to find locally relevant, sustainable, and implementable solutions. Our approaches emphasize flexibility and adaptability that help them tackle real-world problems. They, in turn, make extraordinary changes in their lives and communities.
Please join us—and those we work with and serve around the world—in our pursuit to create a brighter and better future for all.

PARTNER: AMIDEAST

Program Description
The Master's Scholarship Program (MSP) provided 20 Palestinian university graduates with access to master’s-level educational opportunities in the U.S.
The program aimed to build the capacity of key Palestinian sectors including water treatment, agribusiness, industrial production and operations management, public administration, teaching English as a foreign language, construction management, and youth development. Upon completion of their master’s programs, participants returned home with technical knowledge and skills that will contribute to the development of the Palestinian economy, as well as new perspectives and ideas that will enhance their development as leaders and increase their understanding of the U.S. In addition, MSP continued to support participants through follow-on activities in the West Bank and Gaza that enriched their academic experience and contributed to community development such as internships, research opportunities, and community service events. As lead implementer of MSP, World Learning worked in close collaboration with in-country partner AMIDEAST.
Program Goals
- Build the capacity of key Palestinian sectors including water treatment, agribusiness, industrial production and operations management, public administration, teaching English as a foreign language, construction management, and youth development.
