Program Description:
The William Jefferson Clinton Scholarship at the American University in Dubai seeks to further the goals of the Clinton Presidential Foundation to strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence. In partnership with the American University in Dubai, the program will provide American students based in the U.S. the opportunity to expand their educational and cultural horizons by studying in the Arab world.

It is expected that recipients will demonstrate exemplary academic achievement. Provision has been made for up to ten students per semester, drawn from all U.S. universities. Preference will be given to students who show interest in being exposed to the Middle Eastern and Islamic cultures for the first time.

Clinton Scholars will receive:
  • A full waiver of tuition for one term (note that the Clinton Scholarship Program will only cover 5 courses out of the 6 should the student wish to pursue the Certificate in Middle Eastern Studies Program. Students wishing to take the 6th course will be charged for the actual number of credits required for the course (3 credits or above) and
  • Dormitory housing at the American University in Dubai on a shared-room basis.
Scholars must carry a full load of academic credit (12-16 credit hours) during each semester of study and 9 credit hours during the summer session. If scholars fail to remain in good academic standing as defined by AUD’s Academic Standards 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.
