Our Scholarship Philosophy
The 2020 scholarship application period will open from 16 October to 31 December 2019.
Qasid believes in providing scholarship opportunities for deserving students in recognition of their achievement and as an incentive for all those studying the Arabic language to excel. This investment in language education also serves to advance the field of Arabic language studies while enriching the campus atmosphere with diversity, talent, and academic excellence.For those interested in applying now, please review the scholarship policies provided below.For any other information on the scholarship itself or the application process, please contact the Qasid Scholarship Committee at scholarships@qasid.com.Scholarship Policies1. Scholarship availability is announced annually in the month of October.2. Two separate tuition scholarships are offered each year:
- A 1 quarter scholarship, currently valued at $2645, which must be used for either the summer or fall terms of the calendar year following the year of application.
- Up to 5 quarters, full program scholarship, currently valued at up to $13225, requiring a commitment to attend up to 5 academic terms consecutively (total number of terms will depend upon a student's entry level), which must begin in either the summer or fall terms of the calendar year following the year of application.
A student with a full program scholarship who leaves Qasid before all five levels are completed will forfeit the remainder of their scholarship. Scholarships are non transferable to later terms.
