Scholarship Overview

The Harvard Arab Alumni Association Scholarship Fund supports citizens of Arab countries, as defined by the Arab League, with a preference for students who have received their first academic degree from a school located in an Arab country. Candidates must have financial need as determined by the Harvard school in which they plan to enroll.

Eligibility

Candidates must have financial need as determined by the Harvard school in which they plan to enroll. Candidates may not apply directly to CGS for this support, as they must be nominated for consideration by the Harvard school in which they plan to enroll.

How To Apply

Fund recipients will be selected exclusively by the Harvard Committee on General Scholarship based on the following criteria established by the Harvard Arab Alumni Association:

● The student must have been accepted by Harvard University to a full-time degree program at any of Harvard University’s schools (e.g., College, Law School, Business School, Kennedy School)

● The student must be a resident or national of an Arab country

● The student must demonstrate a financial need, as determined by Harvard University’s scholarship criteria

● Preference will be given to students that have obtained a prior degree (e.g., high school or college) from an educational institution in an Arab country

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Committee on General Scholarships?

The Committee is a standing committee of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. It offers programs that serve students in all of Harvard's graduate and professional schools. Its formal members are the Deans of the graduate and professional schools at Harvard, and of Harvard College, or the representatives whom they designate. Dr. Margot N. Gill, Administrative Dean for International Affairs, is Chairperson of the Committee.

What is the origin of all this funding?

The majority of the Committee’s programs are funded with income from Harvard endowment funds established specifically for this purpose as a result of gifts to the university. Most of these scholarships and fellowships are restricted to students who meet specific eligibility criteria established by the original donors. CGS funds represent only a small fraction of the financial support available to Harvard students. It is important that all students begin their search for financial support with the Financial Aid Office of the school within Harvard University in which they plan to enroll.

Are the funds listed here all that are available at Harvard?

The funds and programs offered through the Committee on General Scholarships are only a small sample of the support available to Harvard students. Most financial support is managed within the College or the graduate or professional school in which the student is planning to enroll. All applicants should begin their search for financial support with the Financial Aid Office of that school, and then return here to determine whether there are additional or supplemental programs for you at CGS.

How do I get information about admission requirements at Harvard?

Prospective graduate students should contact the Admissions and Financial Aid Office of the particular Harvard graduate or professional school of interest to them. Prospective undergraduate students should contact the Harvard College Admissions and Financial Aid Office.
