SCHOLARSHIPS CRITERIA AND FORMS (For School Counselors ONLY)

As a Sharakah partner school, you are invited to nominate students from your school to be considered for one of the following scholarships/grants offered by AUS. We are very happy to extend this opportunity to your school and hope that it will enhance your efforts in supporting your distinguished and deserving students who are interested in joining AUS. Following are details of the scholarships/grants available and the eligibility criteria.

1. Sharakah School Scholarships:

Your school has the opportunity to nominate two to five of your AUS applicants to receive a Sharakah School Scholarship named after your school in the range of 50 to 100 percent remission on tuition and housing (sharing for women and men, single and double for men only). This is a limited and competitive scholarship. Applicants with limited financial resources will be given priority in consideration. To be eligible for consideration, a prospective applicant must meet the following criteria:

1. demonstrate outstanding personal qualities and leadership abilities in school and the community
2. have made scientific or literary contributions to his/her local community
3. received special honors or awards for community service and school extracurricular activities
4. achieved a minimum average of 95 percent or equivalent in at least two of the last three years of his/her secondary education

AUS will conduct an assessment to determine eligibility of your nominee(s) for this scholarship opportunity. Those deemed not qualified for this scholarship will be automatically considered for the financial grants program, which provides remission on tuition and shared accommodation that ranges from 5 to 50 percent.

Procedures:

Sharakah Schools need to send a letter of nomination listing the names of students they wish to nominate to the Executive Director for Enrollment Management (email: sharakah@aus.edu) or the Office of Financial Grants and Scholarships (email: scholarship@aus.edu).

To help us in this regard, we would truly appreciate your support in disseminating this and other related information we provide you to interested parents and students. This will minimize any possible ambiguity or confusion.

We are keen on working collaboratively with you on cases that require special consideration. To this end, we encourage you to connect directly with the Office of Financial Grants and Scholarships to discuss the cases of applicants who have special circumstances.
