Description:
In FY 2018, USAID/Lebanon awarded the new Higher Education Scholarship (HES) to extend scholarship support to academically meritorious yet economically disadvantaged students, enabling them to attend American universities in Lebanon that promote critical thinking, tolerance, diversity and freedom of expression. Funds are expected to incrementally fund the new HES award with the American University of Beirut (AUB). The activity supports at least 200 students from public and private secondary schools in four cohorts. HES covers full undergraduate.tuition, stipends, housing or transportation allowance, books and medical.insurance, for studies in majors that have high prospects for meaningful employment. The activity contributes to improved job readiness and ultimately helps students improve their income potential.
