The Palestinian Youth Movement’s Ghassan Kanafani Resistance Arts Scholarship is open to Palestinians residing in the United States and Canada between the ages of 18 and 25. Each year, the contribution of prize money to the top three submissions is intended for their educational expenses in order to propagate their paths of inquiry and creativity.

The scholarship is the first of its kind and aims to provide a space for Palestinians in the diaspora to reflect on their Palestinian identities, positionality, and relationships to Palestine. In honor of the works and vision of the heroic novelist, Ghassan Kanafani, the scholarship aims to focus on Palestinian history, our past, present, and future struggles, and our multi-faceted identities.
