APJ celebrates 25 years at AUB

On 12 August 2025, the Association Philippe Jabre (APJ) marked its 25th anniversary with a special event at the American University of Beirut (AUB). Founded in 2001, APJ has supported young generations in Lebanon for a quarter of a century through university scholarships, medical and social assistance, and partnerships with educational institutions. More than 2,900 university scholarships have been awarded and nearly 9,000 socio-medical cases supported since its creation.

To celebrate this milestone, Philippe Jabre met with AUB students for an open conversation about their studies, their future, and the opportunities ahead. He was joined by Patrick George, Global Head of Markets & Securities Services at HSBC London, who shared his perspective on the evolving job market, the vital role of education, and preparing the next generation.

The dialogue closed with a simple and powerful reminder from Philippe Jabre: “Be open-minded, enjoy this big chance you have to study, and to be taught by very qualified teachers.” A message that captures the spirit of APJ’s enduring commitment to education and youth empowerment.
