To advance education by providing maintenance and travel expenses to suitably qualified Palestinian postgraduate students in need, admitted onto a one year Master's programme at the University of St. Andrews who otherwise would be unable to attend due to financial hardship, and who are committed to returning and using their skills for the benefit of their communities.

Why is there no Clarity Score for Steps yet?
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Steps is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
