Who We Are

The Holy Spirit University Foundation (HSUF) was founded in 1993 in the United States to support the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) in Lebanon. Our primary mission is to promote financial aid benefiting the University and providing a stable learning environment for USEK students. Thanks to your contributions over nearly three decades, we are making education available to Lebanese youth regardless of their financial situation.

Our Mission

HSUF focuses on advancing USEK’s educational mission by collecting donations in the U.S. The Foundation tailors these donations to meet the needs of the Lebanese youth seeking high-quality education, thereby building an informed population and helping Lebanon to grow and prosper.

Our Vision

HSUF aims to support USEK students in their aim for a better future by alleviating their financial burdens and allowing them sustainable access to quality education.
