To help encourage Iranian descent students to pursue higher education in human rights and public service Persia established the Abdolreza Ansari Scholarship in December 2020. It was Mr Ansari’s fervent belief that investing in youth education would further global prosperity. This philosophy and his illustrious career inspired the establishment of the Persia Educational Foundation, to support and empower Iranian youth and young professionals.

Applications submitted by eligible Iranian descent students in a Master or Doctorate programme at an internationally accredited university in the UK or beyond, were reviewed by an independent panel to select an outstanding recipient.

To mark Human Rights Day 2022 Persia will hold a webinar at 17:00 UK on Wednesday, 7 December 2022. The webinar is supported by Kayhan Life, Persia trustees and our independent panel of experts.
