The University of the People is a California-based online university offering places to 500 Syrian refugees to allow them to complete degree courses. The platform is currently the fast-growing, non-profit project designed to provide higher education to those who want to study, but do not have financial or physical access to a traditional university. Students from 180 countries are currently studying fully accredited four-year degrees, with all courses taught completely online. The full cost of a degree is normally 100, however that fee is being waived for the Syrian refugees.
