The Tomorrow’s Leaders Program offers undergraduate scholarships and leadership training to highly motivated candidates from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Through the high-quality education and training provided by partner institutions—the American University in Cairo (AUC), the American University of Beirut (AUB), and the Lebanese American University (LAU)—program participants are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills for leadership roles at local, national, and regional levels.
In addition to their academic work, Tomorrow’s Leaders participate in relevant internships, community service initiatives, and leadership development workshops, where they apply their knowledge to real-world settings. By joining the Tomorrow’s Leaders Program, participants join a vibrant community that offers a comprehensive support system, including mentorship and personal development supports.
Participants have the opportunity to study abroad in the United States for one semester, immersing themselves in American culture, engaging with local communities, and expanding their global outlook. The program covers tuition and enrollment fees, university housing, a monthly living stipend, visa and residency permit fees, university health insurance, textbooks, and a laptop. It also provides two round-trip tickets home per year and includes a semester of study abroad in the United States.
The Tomorrow’s Leaders Program offers exceptional students from across the MENA region a fully funded educational opportunity designed to cultivate leadership potential, academic excellence, and social responsibility. Applicants must hold citizenship or nationality from Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, the West Bank/Gaza, or Yemen.
Eligible applicants include final-year high school students or those who graduated in 2025, while students from Iraq, Libya, Syria, West Bank/Gaza, and Yemen who graduated in 2024 are also eligible. U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents are not eligible to apply.
Candidates must demonstrate strong academic credentials and maintain high achievement through their final exams. The program seeks individuals who exhibit maturity, adaptability, and leadership potential. Proficiency in written and spoken English is mandatory, with a minimum TOEFL iBT score of 80 required for university admission. Applicants must also be able to travel and begin studies in August 2026. Financial need is a key criterion, and candidates are expected to provide supporting documentation to demonstrate their eligibility.
