Studying at the world’s most prestigious universities is a privilege. The Omid Trust’s goal is to make this opportunity available to as many Iranian students as possible. In order to achieve this objective, the Omid Trust kindly asks its scholars to give back to the organisation once they have finished their studies and entered the world of work. The aim is to create a cycle of giving, with former scholars taking the lead to ensure that students after them may also benefit from the life-changing opportunities which they were given. Such giving is a token of the scholars’ appreciation, and an investment in the future of Iran.
