The Harvard Arab Alumni Association was founded in 2001 to promote and strengthen the “Arab voice” at Harvard, to build a strong network among Harvard alumni with an interest in the Arab world and to provide unique fora for intelligent discussion on issues concerning the betterment of the Arab World. Today, the Harvard Arab Alumni Association reaches over 4,000 alumni and friends and supports a number of charities, scholarship funds and initiatives throughout the Arab world, including Project Harvard Admissions to promote the admission of more Arab students at Harvard and the HAAA Scholarship Fund, the first and only alumni-led scholarship fund at Harvard. In 2010, on account of our efforts, the Harvard President recognized us as the best Harvard alumni association.
