Middle East Partnership Initiative MEPI and AMIDEAST are pleased to invite applicants for Scholarship in Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship Program 2013.
The Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship Program is a MEPI initiative for capable and highly motivated high school seniors in the Middle East and North Africa who are from undeserved backgrounds. The program will provide four-year university scholarships and internship opportunities at select institutions of higher learning in the Middle East to students who have the potential to become leaders.
The primary objective of MEPI’s Tomorrow’s Leaders scholarship program is to build a cadre of university-age leaders who are civic-minded, intellectually able, and professionally skilled, who will become the community, business, and national leaders of the future. The program intends to nurture leadership skills and the spirit of civic engagement and volunteerism among outstanding university-age students at the American University of Beirut, the American University in Cairo, and the Lebanese American University. Selected students will join the 93 Tomorrow’s Leaders already studying at these universities.
Participation in the program includes: travel, academic fees for four years of university at American University of Beirut(AUB), American University in Cairo(AUC), or Lebanese American University(LAU), a study abroad experience in the U.S., accident and sickness insurance, housing, and a monthly allowance during the school year.
Eligibility & Criteria
- Eligible students include men and women who represent the region’s cultural, religious, and geographic diversity and are from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, who could otherwise gain admission to, but would be unable to afford, four years of college.
- Scholarship recipients may pursue an undergraduate degree in a selected field at one of the three host institutions. In addition to their studies, recipients will be expected to engage in community service activities and participate in internships.
