Biden administration doles out $15 million to gender studies programs at universities in Middle East

President Joe Biden’s administration is offering new tuition incentives to encourage Middle Eastern students to enroll in gender studies programs at American universities.

A $15 million initiative through the State Department, the “Tomorrow’s Leaders Gender Scholars Program,” aims to help students “advance and deepen their engagement in gender studies” at the American University in Cairo, Egypt and the American University of Beirut in Lebanon, the Daily Caller reports.

Full-time students who enroll in at least one gender studies class per semester are eligible for full tuition reimbursement through the program, according to the State Department grant.

Additionally, recipients must participate in an “activity or short-term project where students can promote and advocate for gender equality,” and take tests every semester to gauge their “awareness of gender issues,” the grant states.
