USA

Institutional financial aid and/or scholarships may be used for the semester/academic year programs. Federal Financial Aid (Perkins Loans, SSIG Grant Program, Pell Grants, FSEOG Grants, Stafford Loans, SLS Loans, PLUS Loans, and Consolidation Loans) also can generally be used for study abroad programs. Get in touch with your study abroad or financial aid office to determine which awards could help support your time abroad.

Few students choose to study abroad in the Middle East or North Africa, and those who choose to do so form a community of intelligent and adventurous individuals. Thank you for being a part of Amideast’s larger mission to help develop mutual understanding between Americans and the people of the Middle East and North Africa. We firmly believe that there is no single better way to learn about the world and other peoples than by stepping out into it in order to learn from one’s own experiences and personal interactions.

PRESENCE IN THE REGION

Amideast was established in 1951 to build human connections between Americans and the diverse peoples of the Middle East and North Africa. This longstanding physical presence in the region has enabled Amideast to develop an extensive network of contacts with local educational and other institutions, organizations, government offices, and civil society.
