Study Abroad Program/ALI Students
Partial Tuition Waiver
A partial tuition waiver is available to students currently enrolled full-time in their first undergraduate degree program at a four-year public university in the United States who wish to enroll in either the Study Abroad Program or the full-time intensive Arabic program of the Arabic Language Institute. The waiver assumes that the out-of-state (non-resident) tuition rate is lower than AUC's tuition rate and equals the difference between the two tuition rates. AUC must receive an official letter from the state university bursar or other responsible financial officer confirming the college's out-of-state tuition rate for the same period the student will be attending AUC. The waiver of the tuition difference is applicable only to undergraduate study abroad for a maximum of two semesters. It does not apply to summer or winter sessions, part-time study or study toward an AUC degree.
Simpson Scholarship in Egyptology
 The Simpson Scholarships in
Egyptology are available
to Study Abroad Program students who
wish to concentrate
their studies at AUC on the history and culture of Ancient
Egypt. The scholarships are
open to outstanding undergraduates of junior
or senior standing
who have little or no background in
Egyptology, as well as for those who have
already begun formal study of Ancient Egypt or the ancient world. Up to five scholarships
per semester are granted. Students may
use the award as they wish to defray the
expense of study at AUC. However, it is
expected that the scholarships will first be
applied toward the payment of all applicable
AUC tuition and fees.
The Simpson Scholarship consists of an award
of $2500 for one semester of full-time, non-degree
undergraduate study in the Study
Abroad Program at AUC. Interested students may apply for either:
(1) A scholarship of $2500 for study
in the fall semester, or
(2) A scholarship of $2500 for study
in the spring semester; or
(3) A scholarship of $5000 for study
for an academic year of two consecutive
semesters
The awarding of Simpson Scholarships is
competitive.The minimum qualifications for consideration are as follows:
• Completion of a minimum of two years of
post-secondary studies at a recognized college or university
• Completion of introductory courses in
your major
• A grade-point average of at least 3.00 (on a
4.00 point scale) or its equivalent
• Permission from your home institution to
participate in AUC's Study Abroad Program
Applications for the Simpson Scholarship are
open to students of all nationalities who are
of junior or senior standing in a college or
university outside of Egypt at the time they
apply. Candidates must maintain their status
as degree-seeking undergraduates at their
home university while attending AUC. An
exception may be made for particularly
outstanding candidates who have recently
completed B.A. or B.S. degrees and who have
not yet enrolled in graduate programs. Such
students will be required to enroll as fulltime,
non-degree, undergraduate students at
AUC should they receive awards.
