Egypt programs / USAID Scholars
(Egypt): .The USAID Scholars activity will continue to provide undergraduate scholarships to talented Egyptian students from underserved communities across all governorates. These scholarships will help young Egyptian students to become leaders and gain skills and knowledge in fields critical to Egypt's development, such as nursing, water, agriculture and energy. Approximately 50 percent of the scholars will be women, and 10-15 percent will be students with disabilities. Students will attend one of five Egyptian public universities (Ain Shams, Mansoura, Cairo, Alexandria, and Assiut), or two private universities (the American University in Cairo and Zewail City of Science and Technology). Approximately 65 percent of the scholars will have the opportunity to study in the U.S. To date, USAID Scholars has provided 140 scholarships to Egyptian students, and the second cohort of 140 students will begin their studies in October 2021. The activity will provide English language training, career counseling, entrepreneurship training, and internships to allow youth to gain employment and become change agents in their communities, Egypt, and the region...USAID Scholars activity is meeting
