Last fall, 18 Egyptian undergraduates became the first students to take advantage of a new study abroad option for students in the Public University Scholarships program, which Amideast administers under the USAID-funded U.S.-Egypt Higher Education Initiative (HEI).
Amideast and the Citi Foundation proudly announce the launching of the “Skills for Success®: Employability and Entrepreneurship Program” in a two-year partnership aimed at providing economic opportunities impacting more than 600 youth in Lebanon.
The 11 women and seven men come from six countries — Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen, and, for the first time, Libya. The support of Amideast’s educational advising staff that is offered all DKSSF students was critical to their successful applications. In most cases, their applications were also strengthened by their participation in the Competitive College Club (CCC), which Amideast manages on behalf of EducationUSA in Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, the West Bank and Gaza, and Yemen.
In July, Amideast/Alexandria relocated its operations to the American Center Alexandria (ACA), home of the U.S. Consulate for many years. Built in the early 20th century, the building is an architectural gem that holds historical and cultural significance for many Alexandrians — a legacy that Amideast is committed to honoring by preserving its structural integrity and respecting its importance to the community. 
These impressive young women and men from Lebanon, Tunisia, and the West Bank excelled in their college studies and are exceptional in many other ways.
Lebanese philanthropist and entrepreneur Maroun Semaan will be posthumously honored for his significant contributions to the advancement of education at the Amideast Award Gala in Beverly Hills on October 14, 2017.

International exchange programs got a huge boost of support this week as 163 former U.S. ambassadors sent a letter to the Chairs and Ranking Members of the U.S. House and Senate Appropriations Committees urging them to support full funding in fiscal year 2018 for the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).
These outstanding young men and women came into the program well before their dreams of winning scholarships to pursue their college studies in the United States came true. They continued to make their mark during their journeys, making all of us at Amideast proud.
