Special Major Scholarship

This scholarship is available to students pursuing degrees in English, MLS, and International Studies/Relations at AUIS. This scholarship is intended to make tuition more affordable for students with demonstrated financial need. Students with a Baccalaureate score of 79% or below are eligible to apply. Recipients of this scholarship will pay a reduced tuition rate of 4,500,000 IQD per academic year.

Application Process
  1. Motivational Letter: 
    Applicants must submit a motivational letter outlining their reasons for applying and their qualifications for the scholarship. The letter should include the applicant’s name, phone number, email and choice of the major at AUIS. The letter can be done in English, Kurdish or Arabic.
    Please send the motivational letter by email to [email protected] or bring it in person to the AUIS Admissions Office.
  2. Interview: 
    Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed to further assess their suitability for the scholarship.
Eligibility Criteria
  1. Academic Performance: 
    Baccalaureate Score range should be between 55 and 79%.
  2. Financial Need: 
    Applicants must demonstrate significant financial need that would otherwise prevent them from attending AUIS.
  3. Relevant Experience: 
    Previous volunteering experience or involvement in activities related to the field of study is a plus but not mandatory.
  4. Field of Study: 
    The scholarship is available to students pursuing degrees in English, MLS, and International Studies/Relations. The students must meet the eligibility requirements for choosing their major. If during the course of their studies at AUIS the scholarship recipients decide to change their major, they will need to cover the difference in tuition for the past semesters (this will be dealt on a case by case basis).

Selection Process

  • Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee who will assess academic performance, financial need, relevant experience, and the content of the motivational letter and interview.
  • Applicants will be notified of their scholarship status as soon as possible after their interview.
