برنامج اللغة الانجليزية (أكسيس)
يفخر معهد أمديست/ سلطنة عمان بالعمل مع السفارة الأمريكية في مسقط ووزارة التربية والتعليم العمانية لإدارة برنامج الأكسيس للمنح الدراسية في سلطنة عمان . فمنذ عام 2010 م , شارك ثلاثمائة وعشرين طالباً عمانياً من الصف التاسع والعاشر من المدارس الحكومية في مسقط وصحار ونزوى وصلالة واستفادوا الكثير من دورات اللغة الإنجليزية ( تقام بعد الدوام المدرسي) والأنشطة اللاصفية المتاحة والتي تهدف إلى تطوير مهارات الطلاب الثقافية والاجتماعية وأيضاً تعزيز فرص التعليم والعمل .
يقضي طلاب الأكسيس كل أسبوع ما بين ثلاث إلى أربع ساعات ونصف في دورات اللغة الأنجليزية بعد فترة المدرسة مع معلمي أمديست الأمريكيين الذين يقيمون ويعملون في أربعة أماكن يقام فيها برنامج الأكسيس . ومن الانشطة اللاصفية ايضا هو أن الطلاب والمعلمين يقومون بالتواصل الإجتماعي المحلي وزيارة الأماكن المهمة والأعمال التطوعية والتفاعل مع أعضاء ومدراء الأكسيس .
لقد حقق برنامج الأكسيس العالمي الذي وصل عدد طلابه الى خمسة وخمسين ألف طالب وطالبة في سبعون دولة نجاحا ملموسا منذ أن طُرِح البرنامج من قِبل إدارة مكتب الولايات الأمريكية للشؤون الثقافية والتربوية في عام 2004 .

Omani Government offers merit-based scholarships of up to $24,070/year for five years
Special Announcement
Oman's Ministry of Higher Education is currently administering His Majesty's Scholarship Fund, set up by the Sultan to provide 1,500 merit-based undergraduate scholarships for students who graduated from high school in June 2011. Five hundred of those scholarships have been allocated for the U.S., and will be repeated every year, for a total of 2,500 students in the coming years. The EducationUSA office based in AMIDEAST/Oman is assisting the Ministry with finding four-year universities and colleges (with housing or campus-supervised homestays) that would be interested in considering applications from scholarship students in the near future. Universities and colleges that can offer cost-sharing will be given preference by the Ministry as it awards the scholarships.
