About KAFD office
KAFD office was established at JUST in 2003. The aim
of the office is to provide the students with professional advice and
technical consultation in communication skills and job search. The
project is meant to enhance chances of the university graduates to get
jobs and link the student community with private sector establishments
and civil society institutions, at the national, regional and
international levels.
The mechanism of work is based on
providing a database concerning the market needs of human resources and
matching students training on communication skills with the actual needs
of the market, as a fundamental requirement to synchronize the output
of the educational system with the needs of the labor market. The office
also work to enhance professional ethics and values, help students
obtain permanent jobs after graduation, or part-time jobs during
university study and link the university student community with the
activities of the private sector and the civil society.
Scholarships for Needy Distinguished Students in Public Universities
KAFD awards a number of grants to Jordanian
distinguished, underprivileged students (either those already enrolled
in or the young men and women accepted as freshmen in one of the public
universities). The aim is to ensure equality among Jordanians in
education opportunities regardless of their financial status. Through
such support, where transparency is the golden rule, the Fund tries to
improve the living standards of this category of citizens and sparks a
spirit of competition among students on the basis of equal opportunity.

Program for Financing Research & Development Projects
Through this program, KAFD finances scientific
research projects conducted by university students. The projects are

seeks to enhance creativity and excellence among youth.
Promoted
in all universities, including through field visits, the program seeks
to support creative and excelling university students, through providing
them with the adequate climate to unleash their potential and
creativity. The effort translates into facts on the ground the vision
and recommendations of the Jordan Youth Forum, in which participants
stressed the need to support innovative and distinct university
students.

achievement approaches into new horizons where they embrace critical
thinking, creativity and innovation.
