The Ministry of Education in Jordan has announced new scholarship opportunities for students aspiring to pursue their undergraduate studies abroad in the upcoming academic year. These scholarships are specifically targeted at non-medical fields in Egypt and Morocco, fostering cultural and educational exchange. Prospective applicants should take note of the key conditions and deadlines related to these programs.
Scholarship Opportunities in Egypt
For those interested in studying in Egypt, eligibility requires students to be Jordanian citizens who have completed the Jordanian General Secondary Education Certificate (Tawjihi) in 2026. The available fields of study include engineering, artificial intelligence, veterinary medicine, and law, each with specific minimum grade requirements. For engineering, a minimum score of 80% is needed, while a minimum of 75% is required for artificial intelligence. Veterinary medicine applicants must also possess a minimum of 80%, and law candidates require at least 65%.
It is important to note that the Egyptian scholarships cover tuition fees only. Engineering students will be assigned a specific specialization after their first academic year, based on academic performance. Additionally, applicants should be aware that university placement will be organized by Egyptian authorities, and changes to majors or transfers will not be permitted. Students can only apply for one specialization; submitting multiple applications will lead to disqualification.
Scholarship Opportunities in Morocco
The Moroccan scholarship program also welcomes applications from Jordanian nationals who have achieved a 2026 Tawjihi or an equivalent qualification in engineering or science and technology fields, with a minimum grade of 75%. Unlike the Egyptian program, the Moroccan grant not only covers tuition fees but also includes university housing and a monthly stipend as per Moroccan regulations.
Instruction in Morocco will be conducted in French, necessitating that students complete a preparatory French language foundation year prior to commencing their degree studies. Similar to Egypt, university placement and major assortment in Morocco will be managed by local authorities, and requests for subsequent changes will not be accepted.
Application Process and Selection Criteria
Both scholarship programs are structured to select candidates based on the highest Tawjihi scores in relation to the available slots. It is critical for applicants to submit their forms through the official online portals before the application deadline. This ensures a fair assessment based on the set criteria, emphasizing the importance of academic achievements in the selection process.
In conclusion, these scholarship opportunities present an incredible chance for Jordanian students to further their education abroad while enhancing cultural connections with Egypt and Morocco. As the application period is limited, interested candidates should act promptly to secure a place in these competitive programs. Whether pursuing a degree in engineering or the sciences, the benefits of these scholarships extend beyond financial assistance, promising valuable international experiences and academic growth.
