A family foundation, built on a simple belief.
That a young person’s future shouldn’t be decided by what they can afford. Since 2009, we’ve turned that belief into degrees.

Helping students since 2009.
The L.O.V.E. America Foundation was founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA by Nabil and Diana Abou Nassr Eddine, with a mission to open the door to higher education for Lebanese students of merit and need.
What began as support for a handful of students has grown into a program that funds a new cohort every year and sustains each scholar through to graduation. Our graduates have walked the stage at UNC Charlotte as engineers, architects, and accountants, and some have spoken for their entire class.
Three beliefs behind every award.
Belief in people
We back students for their character and potential, not just their grades.
Rooted in two homes
An American foundation serving Lebanese youth, bridging community across an ocean.
Stewardship
Every dollar is treated as a trust, directed to where it changes a life.
17 years, and counting.
