Harvard University in the United States awarded the Palestinian student “Sarah Nizar Abu Rashid” a scholarship worth 1.2 million dollars for her academic excellence and achieving first place at the level of the United States of America.

Sarah, daughter of the Yarmouk_Camp who fled the hell of war in Syria to the American city of Ohio, was able to integrate with her new community and achieve outstanding success in her academic achievement, to the extent that ten American universities competed to enroll her, including Harvard University.

Harvard University is one of the most prestigious American universities and one of the best in the world, as it ranks first on the list of the top one hundred universities in the world. It is located in the city of Cambridge in the state of Massachusetts in the northeastern United States,
and an elite of American society have been studying there since 1636 (that is, before the country's independence), and it adopts the phrase “Truth” as its motto.

Sarah's origins go back to the city of Haifa. She migrated 8 years ago from Syria due to the outbreak of the war. She lives and studies in the United States of America.
She is a poet and writer, with contributions, participations, and studies in more than ten American books and magazines. She is a member of the Administrative Board of the Youth Creativity Forum at the International Palestinian Creativity Foundation. One of her poems was included in the English language curriculum for high school students at the United States level, and she was chosen in 2018 as one of twenty students worldwide to attend the Democracy Ambassadors Conference in Greece.
Sarah issued a play titled "A Map About Myself" in which she tells her story and her family’s story with identity, immigration, and diaspora, which was performed more than sixteen times in several American states.
