Work-Study Programs 

The Office of Student Financial Affairs, in collaboration with the Career Advising and Placement Services Office, provide you with the opportunity to gain on-campus work experience and develop skills while earning some money through the work-study program.

The work-study program gives students the opportunity to work in various departments on campus during the academic year, and contribute to projects and programs in AUC’s academic and administrative departments. It allows students to contribute toward their education expenses, make use of their free time, gain experience, develop transferable skills, improve their resumes and earn money.

The type of work the student is required to perform may differ from one department to another according to the duties performed by each department.

Student participants should be willing to dedicate eight to 10 working hours per week with a maximum of 120 hours during regular semester, 60 hours during the summer session and 30 hours during the winter session. The student is compensated at the end of the semester. More


Outside Funding

Center for Arabic Study Abroad

Fellowships are offered to American graduate students for participation in the intensive Arabic language program taught by AUC under the Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) established by a consortium of U.S. universities, including AUC, and funded annually since 1967 by the U.S. Department of Education. Both summer and twelve-month programs are conducted. Students pay a program fee to help cover administrative costs and receive a fellowship covering tuition, maintenance, and travel from and to the United States.

Competence in modern standard Arabic equivalent to at least two years of study on the college level is a prerequisite.
