About Boustany Foundation
The Boustany Foundation was established by Nabil Boustany and his son Fadi in 2006, and is currently active in Switzerland and Monaco.
The two entities have a common mission but each has its own board of directors representing a number of various nationalities and backgrounds.
Preceding the Foundation itself, an MBA student at the University of Cambridge won the first Boustany Scholarship in 1997. Since then the Foundation has awarded several scholarships in diverse fields and hopes to build more incentives for excellent students in the coming years.
Today the Boustany Foundation vigorously supports and maintains scholarship and support services; many of which have ambitious aspirations for future growth, regional reach and depth. New scholarships are increasingly being provided for smart and talented individuals. Every year further initiatives are proposed and put to fruition, providing incentives for disadvantaged children.
The Foundation seeks to contribute to the humanity’s growth and health. The Foundation would pursue the following to attain its mission:
- Support all subjects that contribute to the growth of human civilizations
Either it be about astronomy, medicine, science & technology, finance, economics, management, law, history, philosophy, etc. This goal is accomplished mainly by granting scholarships to excellent and talented students, though not strictly.
- Fostering peace among human populations, by:
- Improving connectivity, awareness and human tolerance;
- Cultivating knowledge and recognition of the society of others; and
- Facilitating the distribution and exchange of information where possible.
- Because children are our future and are not independent, the goal of the Foundation is to:
- Children should lead safe, balanced, successful, fulfilling and meaningful lives.
- Help children in need.
The above tasks are to be slowly applied over time.
