The beneficiary students were present too and expressed their gratitude for the support of the "Adnan Kassar Scholarship" which is allowing them to complete their studies at a prestigious institution as a prelude to a successful career.
Dr. Jabbra thanked, on behalf of LAU, Dr. Kassar for this important contribution, which is supporting LAU in general, and the Financial Aid Office and the School of Business in particular, by allowing access to top-notch Education for academically outstanding yet financially needy students.
H.E. Dr Kassar thanked LAU as well for being a platform of academic excellence. He added that this annual scholarship is aligned with his vision of supporting both outstanding higher education institutions and needy & deserving students, and that's why it's bound to continue for the coming years. He stressed his believe in the great potential of the Lebanese people and took this opportunity to commend all the Lebanese who have remained in this country to work together and build a solid nation.
