About AUC Graduate Fellowships
The American University in Cairo (AUC) has two categories of fellowships: institutional and sponsored. Institutional fellowships are funded by the University, while sponsored fellowships are from private endowments and donors.
Fellowships are highly competitive awards. They are open to new students and may also be available to continuing graduate students who display superior performance in their academic endeavors, depending on the availability of allocated funds for a given fellowship award.
While both types of fellowships recognize high-achieving applicants, the University considers financial need as well as academic merit. Preference is given to those who wish to pursue full-time study in a graduate program at AUC.
Benefits of AUC Graduate Fellowships
- Fellowship awards can be given in the form of full tuition fee coverage of nine credits per semester or partial tuition fee coverage between one and eight credits. Graduate students must apply for fellowship support renewal every semester unless otherwise specified in the fellowship listing and/or the fellowship award letter. International students on fellowship support may receive a housing allowance, conditional they are full-time students. Fellowship renewal is neither automatic nor guaranteed.
