Program 3

Daughters For Life

Daughters For Life is an initiative of New College of Florida, Daughters for Life Foundation and the local Sarasota/Manatee community. Young women from across the Middle East will come to New College for a transformational education that will help them become the future leaders their homelands desperately need. The Daughters for Life Foundation was created by Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish in memory of his three daughters who were killed when an Israeli tank mistakenly fired a shell into their home. The philanthropy educates women from Middle Eastern nations in the belief they can improve their communities and bring peace to the region. Through Daughters For Life, women from Middle Eastern countries will attend New College on scholarships that will cover the full cost of tuition, room, board and other academic and living expenses. *Budget is based on yearly cost

Program long term success

It is our hope that women educated in the Daughters For Life program will affect change and peace in their homelands. Additionally, as our world becomes more multicultural and interconnected, success will depend on the ability to engage with people whose backgrounds, experiences and perspectives differ from one's own. Thus benefiting not only the Daughters for Life Scholars, but the New College and local communities as well.

Program success monitored by

Once the young women are here on campus, the program will be monitored by several departments within the college: Admissions, Student Affairs, and the Provost's office, all making sure the students are academically and personally successful at New College. In addition, the Daughters for Life Foundation will be involved in making sure their cultural and religious needs are met. Specifically, the registrar's office will keep track of the student's academic progress, the counseling and wellness center will be focusing their physical needs and the students' faculty advisors will be closely monitoring their overall success at New College.

Program success examples

The students receive excellent written evaluations from their faculty advisors, report personal feelings of success living at New College, and complete seven contracts and a written thesis for graduation. This will likely take place over a period of four years.
