Meet Moayed Haj Ali, an AGF scholar from Syria who pursued a BS in Computer Engineering at Koc University.

“I once again find myself in a position that I was in four years ago, closing a big chapter of my life and getting ready for another adventure, only this time with more hunger for knowledge, and eagerness for success. I hope that this victorious narrative will only continue to expand, showing that the trust that AGF put in Arab students was well placed.”​

Moayed graduated from Koc University in 2022. Upon graduation, Moayed was able to secure a fully funded scholarship to pursue his PhD in Computer Science at Rice University in Texas.​

“Giving back to me is a commitment to taking the knowledge, skills, and experiences I have gained in my undergraduate studies and will gain in my graduate studies to benefit the next generation of Arab students. To this end, I aspire to act as a mentor to undergraduates who have a proclivity for an academic career, to assist them in pinpointing their research interests and applying to suitable graduate schools. Additionally, I plan to assemble a research group comprised of Arab students to pursue a research endeavor in matters related to the underprivileged countries in the Arab world while I pursue my PhD.”
