Free Syrian University

The Free Syrian University was made in 2013 for refugees from the Syrian civil war that are uneducated and are the age for college. The university is a secular university, not with any religion but does offer a degree in Islamic Studies. The university supports the Syrian opposition and bases its name off of the Free Syrian Army.[1] The university is in the country of Turkey, in a town close to the Idlib Governorate of Syria but also holds online meetings using software like Zoom or Google Meet for those not in Turkey.[1] To enroll in the university it costs $1500 usually but most refugees do not have the finances so they attend at a reduced fee or free.[2]
