This study employs a quantitative and qualitative approach and intends to explore the challenges and opportunities for Syrian refugee students in Jordan.

Refugees face multiple challenges in Jordan:(1) Financial shortcomings; (2) legal issues including lack of documentation and restrictive host country policies; (3) Psychological and Family challenges. Findings of the study add to the understanding of the vital role of higher education in improving living conditions and giving a sense of hope for the future. The study offers policy and program recommendations to decision- and policy-makers for the national and international communities, donors and other institutions with the overall goal to improve and guide further practice and research in supporting access to higher education.

Summary
In 2010, Syria underwent the Arab Spring through which the public claimed for more freedom. Things became more complicated and the situation turned into a fierce war between the Syrian government and the forces opposing it. The scenario became even more complicated after some international allies and new regional forces interfered. After such as interference, the destructive and violent acts increased and towns were fully destroyed. That was done through using all kinds of ground, aircraft, and naval heavy weapons and missiles. In this war, the Syrian civilians fell as victims. Hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians were killed and millions of Syrian civilians were internally displaced. Millions of Syrian civilians sought asylum at Europe. Many people drowned in the sea because they were using inflatable boats or pitiful ships
