American University in Cairo (AUC) The Palestinian Scholarships Fall

The American University in Cairo offers donor-funded scholarship opportunities supported by individuals and corporations, aimed at recruiting and educating eligible students from different cities and educational backgrounds. The page includes multiple donor-established scholarships, each with its own eligibility criteria and coverage.

Eligibility varies by scholarship and may include nationality (such as Egyptian, Saudi, Arab, Yemeni, or any), a required major restriction for one scholarship, and academic and admissions requirements at AUC. All listed awards require applicants to meet AUC admission requirements and to demonstrate academic achievement, financial need, and active involvement in extracurricular activities, with one award also requiring a specific parent background.

Selection is described as based on eligibility and, where stated, academic merit and financial need. For the listed scholarships, applicants must meet the specified English test requirements (IELTS, TOEFL, or Duolingo) and other scholarship-specific criteria.

Support duration and additional coverage vary by scholarship. Some awards include full tuition and fees plus a monthly stipend during the fall and spring semesters, while others include partial tuition and fees. One scholarship is described as supporting an undergraduate student for a defined multi-year period from first year through graduation, and one award includes housing, a stipend for a set number of months, transportation subscription fees, and a book allowance.
