About Alaywan Family Foundation
The Alaywan Family Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on higher-education scholarships, with a clear geographic emphasis on Lebanese universities and a smaller set of tuition awards to U.S. and Qatar university campuses. Grants are primarily institutional scholarship awards made to multiple universities (often repeatedly) and a few individual scholarship recipients; the foundation also makes occasional gifts for nonprofit capacity-building. Overall, the foundation appears focused on expanding access to tertiary education for students connected to Lebanon or the Lebanese diaspora.

About Alaywan Family Foundation
Alaywan Family Foundation Inc centers its giving on higher-education scholarships, especially tuition support for universities in Lebanon and for Lebanese or diaspora students studying at international campuses. The largest recent awards went to the American University of Beirut at $73,285 and Lebanese American University at $72,888, showing that the foundation’s biggest commitments are tied to academic scholarship rather than broad program grants. Its recent grant record also includes multiple Lebanese universities, reinforcing a pattern of institutional scholarship support across the tertiary education sector. The foundation’s scholarship activity reaches both institutions and individual students. In 2025, it gave $6,064 to Mohannad Alramlawi in Folsom, California, and it also supported Texas A&M-Qatar with a $5,000 academic scholarship for tuition. That mix suggests a structure built around direct tuition assistance, with most dollars flowing to universities and a smaller share directed to named recipients and education-related nonprofits. The recent grants also include support for Visions Made Viable, indicating occasional administrative or general support alongside scholarship making.
What Alaywan Family Foundation Funds
A large share of the foundation’s giving supports Lebanese higher education. Recent awards include $55,745 to Antonine University, $53,012 to Lebanese International University, $45,758 to Notre Dame University, and $38,440 to St Joseph University of Beirut, all marked as scholarship support. The foundation also funds scholarship access at international campuses connected to Lebanese students. It awarded $5,000 to Texas A&M-Qatar in Doha and $4,888 to Texas A&M-Commerce in Texas, both for academic scholarship tuition. Beyond university-level awards, the foundation makes smaller direct scholarship gifts to individuals. Mohannad Alramlawi received $6,064 in Folsom, California. The grant list also shows support for an education-focused nonprofit, Visions Made Viable, which received $15,000 for general support in 2025.
How Alaywan Family Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is tightly clustered: the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile are all $2,023. That points to many similarly sized awards, even though the 2025 list also includes much larger tuition grants to universities. The foundation’s recent pattern shows repeated scholarship support across multiple institutions in the same year, rather than one-off project funding. It also makes a small number of direct gifts to individuals and occasional support for nonprofit administration. The foundation accepts unsolicited applications through its scholarship program, which requires financial need and a minimum 2.75 GPA; awards are not automatically renewed and recipients must reapply each cycle.
