About Durham Palestine Educational Trust

Started in 1984, this charity aids the social and economic development of Palestine by offering scholarships for young Palestinians to study for Masters degrees at Durham University. Two scholarships a year cost 40,000 pounds but Durham University generously waives the tuition fees of about 20,000 pounds. The rest is raised by individual donations and fund-raising events. 100% of all donations is guaranteed to go to supporting Palestinian students. We have no paid workers. You can become a member of the Trust. Write to Dr Derek Kennet, Archaeology Department, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE or visit our website at www.dpet.org.uk/
