Iraq: Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI): Tomorrow’s Leaders Scholarship Program

Overview

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad is pleased to announce that applications are currently being accepted for Tomorrow's Leaders Scholarship Program. The program, funded by the U.S. Department of State's Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and administered by AMIDEAST, 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 of tomorrow.

Eligible students include capable and highly motivated high school seniors in the Middle East and North Africa, 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.

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, and 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.


Scholarship recipients may pursue an eligible 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.

The program fully funds travel, academic fees for four years of university at AUB, AUC, or LAU, a study abroad experience in the U.S., accident and sickness insurance, housing, and a monthly allowance.

Eligibility requirements and program details are available online at www.amideast.org/tl
