The American University in Cairo (AUC) is offering five full and/or partial annual scholarships to thanawiya amma graduates from five governorates in Upper Egypt: Assiut, Beni Suef, Menya, Sohag and Fayyoum.

Scholarships are awarded to an undergraduate degree in all disciplines available at the university. Selected students will benefit from AUC’s liberal arts education, diverse majors and extensive student-life services, and will also have the benefit of enrollment in the Gerhart Center’s youth leadership and civic engagement programs.

The American University in Cairo was founded in 1919 by Americans devoted to education and service in the Middle East. AUC operates within the framework of a 1975 protocol with the Egyptian government, which in turn is based on a 1962 cultural relations agreement between the Egyptian and U.S. governments.
