On January 15, the CEO of the Housing Development Bank (HDB) and the Country Director of AMIDEAST/Egypt signed an agreement supporting the higher education of blind students in Egypt. HDB is funding ten blind students’ first year of undergraduate scholarships to study law and commerce in the English section programs at Mansoura and Alexandria universities, with the agreement to be renewed annually. Administered by AMIDEAST, the scholarships include tuition, dorms and meals, books and stationery, and a stipend. Students will also receive monitoring and support from AMIDEAST advisors, additional training in English and soft skills to prepare them for employment, and practical career-preparation activities. These ten students join 241 students already funded by USAID on the U.S.-Egypt Higher Education Initiative Public University Scholarships program.
