The William Jefferson Clinton Scholars Program

The William Jefferson Clinton Scholars Program at the American University in Dubai seeks to further the goals of the Clinton Presidential Foundation by strengthening the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence through its work in racial, ethnic and religious reconciliation. In partnership with AUD, the program gives US-based students the opportunity to expand their educational and cultural horizons by studying in the Arab world.

Clinton Scholars will receive:

• A full waiver of tuition for one term.
• Housing at the American University in Dubai.

Scholars must carry a full load of academic credit during each term of study. If scholars fail to remain in good academic standing as defined by AUD or fail to adhere to the AUD code of conduct, program participation will be terminated. Board, texts, transportation and extracurricular activities are the financial responsibility of the student.

Eligibility

To be eligible for a Clinton scholarship, a student must be enrolled as an undergraduate degree candidate at an accredited US-based institution of higher learning and be in good academic standing. Preference will be given to students pursuing majors in the fields of international relations and Middle Eastern or Islamic Studies, and to students who have not previously lived in a Middle Eastern country. It is expected that recipients will demonstrate exemplary academic achievement.
