Funding Availability for AU Emerging Global Leader Scholar

All billable American University expenses will be covered such as full tuition, board, and room for two international students who are in need of a non-immigrant visa (preferably an F-1 or J-1 student visa) to study in the U.S. Non-billable expenses will not be covered like mandatory health insurance, airline tickets, books, taxes, and miscellaneous expenditures which students are required to pay out of pocket (approximately US$4000 per year).

The scholarship (AU EGL) is renewable for a complete 4 years of undergraduate study based on the student’s continued satisfactory academic performance. Students who are interested in all majors offered at American University are eligible to apply.

New Scholarship – AU EGL Partial Scholarships – in addition to the two full 2025 AU Emerging Global Leader Scholarships which cover all billable expenditures, American University will also offer the students up to eight additional generous AU EGL partial scholarships which are valued up to US$40,000 per year.

Eligibility Criteria for AU EGL Partial Scholarships – There is no additional application required for the application procedure to be eligible for these scholarships. The applicants for these partial scholarships will be chosen from talented/exceptional applicants who complete the AU EGL scholarship procedure successfully. If the applicants are recommended for an AU EGLs partial scholarship, they will be required to submit proof of additional funds beyond the initial US$4000 for the difference not covered by the AU EGLS partial scholarship. For instance, if the students are provided with US$40,000 per year, they will be required to submit financial documents confirming US$42,000 on account for their first year rather than (instead of) the full estimated expenses of US$81,620.
