Amideast Education Abroad Looks Ahead!

This spring, our Jordan office is pleased to be hosting 30 students onsite, including undergraduates enrolled in our regular semester program as well as teenagers participating in the U.S. Department of State’s National Strategic Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) and the Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program. Customized program sponsors are also heading back to the region in the coming months. This summer and fall, we’re expecting students on the ground in all our current program sites: Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, and the UAE.

New STEM Program to Benefit UAE Youth

  • Amideast/UAE, Boeing, and Pure Minds Education join hands to launch the STEM Pioneers Program.

  • The program will train 30 educators in the application of STEM activities in their schools.  
  • The program aligns with the UAE government’s educational reforms as well as national strategies such as the Advanced Sciences Agenda and the Fourth Industrial Revolution Strategy.

USAID, Amideast to celebrate graduation of scholarship recipients

Students completed their undergraduate degrees this year and last year (when no graduation ceremony was held due to Covid-19), in the special programs at five universities: Ain Shams, Alexandria, Assiut, Cairo, and Mansoura Universities. The scholarship promotes the full inclusion of people with disabilities, and 5% of graduating students have a disability.

Our Expanding Partnership with the Sawiris Foundation

The new Sawiris Distinction Scholarship will fund undergraduate studies for 40 outstanding Egyptian public school graduates at leading Egyptian public and private universities. The fully-funded scholarship provides an outstanding academic experience for students in various important fields to support the future of the Egyptian economy, which qualifies them to obtain competitive job opportunities after graduation.
