If StudyUSA fairs are cancelled by AMIDEAST or for reasons beyond exhibitor control, we will refund all registration fees. AMIDEAST follows U.S. Embassy guidance, which is received on an ongoing basis, or may choose to take a more conservative approach if we believe the quality of the fair may be significantly compromised for any reason. We have not to date needed to cancel any of our fairs.
We generally cannot issue refunds of registration fees to exhibitors who choose to cancel after our July 31 registration deadline.
University admission officers and/or local alumni representatives from U.S.-based institutions holding CHEA-recognized accreditation as well as institutions based elsewhere but holding recognized U.S. regional accreditation are welcome to participate in StudyUSA fairs.
Unfortunately we are currently unable to accommodate exhibitors from institutions that offer their programs entirely by distance methods as Egypt's Supreme Council on Universities does not recognize the degrees of individuals who complete their degrees via online/distance methods.
We are also typically unable to include exhibitors from institutions that are not U.S.-based and do not hold a U.S. regional accreditation because of the fair's focus on American-model education and, in some cases, because of limited U.S. accreditor oversight for overseas institutions.

The Competitive College Club (CCC) is an EducationUSA initiative that started in the Middle East and has spread around the world! The CCC aims to assist students in developing key critical thinking skills, prepare for SAT and TOEFL, engage with the community, research university options, fill applications and apply for scholarships!
Who can join? The club is open to students of any nationality in the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th (by first semester only) grades, who wish to go to university in the United States.
What happens in the club? The club has different activities which include educational advising, test preparation, a book club and community service activities.
How often does the club meet? The club will have two general meetings per month. In addition, students will have to complete a certain number of hours of community service per month. Students may wish to meet more frequently as they prepare for the SAT and TOEFL as well.
How much does it cost to be a member? The club is free. If students wish to purchase additional study material or books, that cost is on the individual student.

International Education Week (IEW) is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education is part of our efforts to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences in the United States. We encourage the participation of all individuals and institutions interested in international education and exchange activities, including schools, colleges and universities, embassies, international organizations, businesses, associations, and community organizations.

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.
