Abraham Lincoln Incentive Grants
AMIDEAST is now accepting applications for the Abraham Lincoln Incentive Grants Program, funded by the United States Department of State through the Middle East Partnership Initiative and the Consulate General in Jerusalem. The program will provide grants (financial assistance) to promising, academically qualified but economically challenged students who will be in grade eleven in the academic year 2013/2014 from both Gaza and the West Bank, to assist them in competing more successfully for scholarships to pursue their undergraduate studies in the United States. This program is not a scholarship to study in the United States and does not guarantee U.S. college admission or a scholarship. However, this program does provide direct assistance to students who may be qualified for future U.S. study but would otherwise not be able to consider U.S. study because of the high cost of preparation courses, testing, application fees, etc.
PROGRAM COMPONENTS
- AMIDEAST will provide students with the following range of educational advising, test preparation and testing services: Advising sessions on undergraduate study in the U.S. and the application process
- College Application & Essay Writing Workshop

Where
AMIDEAST/Tunisia has locations in Tunis, as well as a center in Sousse, two short hours to the south. Tunis is a cosmopolitan, Mediterranean capital city that has grown to a population of three million in the past five years and is known for its pleasant climate, close proximity to numerous historical sites such as legendary Carthage, its attractive mix of Arab and European cultures, and easy access to beautiful beaches and the Sahara Desert. An added attraction is regular flights to most Arab and European countries. Sousse, the third largest city in Tunisia, is also a major tourist hub and offers the same attractions for the Sahel region.
