Non-Discrimination Statement

The Soraya Foundation does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

All scholarship selections and program decisions are made based on eligibility, merit, and alignment with our mission.

DEI Policy

The Soraya Foundation is deeply committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment in everything we do. We believe that opportunity should be accessible to all students, regardless of background or circumstance, and that our work is strongest when it reflects the voices and experiences of the communities we serve.

We welcome and support individuals of all races, ethnicities, national origins, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and lived experiences. Our scholarship selections, programs, partnerships, and organizational decisions are guided by fairness, respect, and equal opportunity.

We actively work to remove barriers, challenge biases, and ensure that every student has a meaningful chance to thrive. DEI is not an initiative for us — it is a core value that shapes our culture, our programs, and our mission.
