About Cedar Bridge

A free guide built by Lebanese students, for Lebanese students.

Who we are

We are students from Lebanon who navigated the path to studying in Germany and Italy — the paperwork, the embassy queues, the blocked accounts, the rejections, and finally the acceptances. We built Cedar Bridge to hand the next student the map we wish we had.

Why it is free

Because the information should never have had a price tag. Too many Lebanese students pay agencies for steps they could do themselves. Cedar Bridge will always be 100% free — no paid courses, no hidden fees, no upsells. That promise is the whole point.

Our story

It started with one rejected visa and a lot of confusion. Friends kept asking how to do it, and the same answers were typed again and again in chat threads. So we wrote everything down, organized it, and made it public — for anyone, in both Arabic and English.
