First winner of Amal Clooney scholarship for Lebanese women

The 100 Lives global initiative launched the Amal Clooney Annual Scholarship for young Lebanese women to pursue studies at the United World College in Dilijan, Armenia. Accordingly, the Initiative will be sending one female student from Lebanon to the above school every year where she can enroll in a two-year international baccalaureate program. The candidate will be selected on the basis of her exemplary academic performance and interest in promoting human-rights related international issues. The first scholarship for 2015 was granted to Pamela Tabsharani, a trilingual student who is fluent in Arabic, French and English and who completed her last college year with distinction. The scholarship will enable Tabsharani to follow up studies in her field of specialty, namely human rights and the rights of women to equality. (Al Mustaqbal, Al Hayat, December 18, 2015)
