In May, 1999, on the occasion of the Second Commencement Exercises of The American University in Dubai held under his patronage, His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, announced the creation of thirty-two scholarships for which prospective AUD students would be eligible. The University’s Administration has designated the scholarships to carry Sheikh Mohammed’s name, citing how His Highness’ gesture reflects a deep commitment to education as the driving force in the accomplishment of Dubai’s and the UAE’s public agenda. The H.H. General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Scholarships have been conceived with the objective of rewarding academic excellence and responding to financial need; as such, they will act as an incentive and reward for superior scholastic performance, as well as an economic contribution to the acquisition of an American-accredited university degree.A Scholarship entitles the recipient to a waiver of tuition for one academic year(2 semesters/30 credit hours) until graduation . The Scholarship does not cover courses taken in the Summer terms. The Student must enroll for two successive semesters and carry a full load of academic credits (12 to 16hours) each semester.
Scholarships are renewed on a yearly basis and students are expected to maintain a Grade Point Average of 3.0 or above by the end of each academic year. Failure to comply with any of the above could result in the withdrawal of the scholarship.
