About This Opportunity

The Excellence Scholarship Program at The American University in Cairo (AUC) attracts a diverse and talented pool of top students based on merit and need. AUC is looking for outstanding students from diverse backgrounds who embody excellence and have the potential and passion for advancing themselves, their communities and the world. Through the Excellence Scholarship Program, the University offers a variety of highly competitive scholarships that, when combined, may provide tuition coverage from 20% to 100% in total, for the very best students eligible in the various categories. Because excellence is multidimensional, AUC's scholarships are based on a number of criteria including academic achievement, international diversity, Egyptian national certificates, talents (athletics, music, performing arts), leadership and community service, and liberal arts majors. These highly competitive scholarships are based on excellence and financial need, ensuring that AUC is accessible to the most outstanding students, regardless of their financial ability. Recipients must maintain specific requirements including following a graduation plan, registering for minimum credits each semester, and maintaining a minimum cumulative GPA.
