Program Summary

Through the Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP), Egyptian teachers are helping American youth meet the challenges of learning Arabic while enriching the students’ understanding of the region. For three years beginning in 2008, AMIDEAST has worked as a subcontractor to American Councils for International Education to recruit the Egyptian teachers, who spend a year teaching Arabic language and culture for an academic year at primary and secondary schools across the United States. The program, which is funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State, is also designed to provide the Egyptian teachers with opportunities to learn more about U.S. teaching methodologies, culture, and society, as well as to improve their English language proficiency.

Program Summary

Launched in 2009, the Abraham Lincoln Incentive Grants Program invests in bright, needy Palestinian students with the potential to compete successfully for scholarships to pursue undergraduate studies in the United States. The program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Middle East Partnership Initiative and the Consulate General in Jerusalem, is the first of its kind in Palestine to provide direct assistance to students who would not otherwise consider U.S. study due to the significant preparatory expenses that are involved to become competitive applicants for U.S. college and university admissions and scholarships.

Announced on the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, who came from humble roots yet rose to become one of the greatest U.S. presidents, the grants program evokes Lincoln’s spirit of hard work, self-reliance, and hope as inspiration to these potential future Palestinian leaders.

Main Goals

A Palestinian student works on his essay writing skills during a workshop organized by AMIDEAST as part of the Abraham Lincoln Incentive Grants Program.

• Invest in the future of young Palestinians

• Assist promising, academically qualified but economically challenged Palestinian students

• Enable a larger pool of capable young Palestinian men and women from the West Bank and Gaza to compete along with students in other countries for the opportunity to further their academic training in the United States of America

Program Summary

The HSBC Financial and Entrepreneurship Awareness (FEA) Program was designed to provide young Arab women the opportunity to develop skills that will help them realize their career aspirations in business and finance. Funded by international banking giant HSBC and administered by AMIDEAST in partnership with Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, the program addressed the need among young Arab women to acquire skills that enhance their employability, thereby meeting a vitally important goal in a region with extremely high rates of unemployment among women. 

Main Goals

• Support the career goals of young Arab women seeking careers in finance and entrepreneurship

• Provide short-term skills training in business and entrepreneurship basics that complement participants’ university-level studies, with a focus on activities that provide hands-on exposure to the realities of business, finance, and entrepreneurship activities

• Build the business, leadership, and financial management skills of young women to prepare them to be business-owners and contribute to broader economic gains for the region
