Spotlight Scholarship

About the program

Spotlight is a blended learning university scholarship program where students study on-site with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), a US-based University, and pursue their bachelor’s degree while being in Lebanon. Our aim is to provide access to higher education programs including Associate’s and Bachelor’s degrees to refugees and vulnerable learners of any nationality accessing programs with a specialization in Business, Communication, and Health Care Management through LASeR.

  1. The program offers a full scholarship for students seeking their Bachelor’s degrees in the following majors: Business, Healthcare Management, Communication.
  2. The duration of SNHU scholarship is up to 4 years.
  3. The minimum study time is 20 Hours/ Week (Online + physical presence in LASeR) Laptops and fast connection provided during the studying period.
  4. Students work exclusively on projects to demonstrate their mastery of the required skills.  Competency-based education (CBE) is designed to develop workplace-relevant knowledge and skills.
  5. Rather than measuring learning by hours in the classroom, CBE measures learning by projects and assessments. Each degree program defines specific learning goals. Those goals are broken down into competencies. 
  6. Students complete projects for review by professional educators and subject matter experts. In addition to being provided with a full variety of educational resources, they can also make use of their existing knowledge and skills to demonstrate mastery of the required competency. 
  7. If your project shows that you have mastered the skill, you move on to the next requirement; if not, you can go back and re-submit your project as many times as it takes to master the skill.
