EGLS) for International Students.
The AU Emerging Global Leader Scholarship
The AU Emerging Global Leader Scholarship promotes educational access and
opportunity while enhancing international diversity. Bringing together the
best of AU - academic excellence, leadership development, and global
engagement - the AU Emerging Global Leader achieves, inspires, and serves
with vision. The AU EGL is dedicated to positive civic and social change,
and will return home to improve under-resourced, underserved communities in
their home country.
The AU EGL scholarship covers all billable AU expenses (full tuition, room
and board) for one international student who will need a visa (preferably an
F-1 or J-1 student visa) to study in the United States. The scholarship does
not cover non-billable expenses such as mandatory health insurance, books,
airline tickets and miscellaneous expenses (approximately U.S.$4,000 per
year).
The AU EGL scholarship is renewable for a total of four years of
undergraduate study, based on continued satisfactory academic performance.
