Complete scholarship details
American University of Sharjah offers Merit Scholarships covering 10% to 20% of tuition and laboratory fees for academically qualified first-time undergraduate applicants. The current scholarship page states that students need an average equivalent to at least 95% in Grades 10 and 11; Grade 12 results are not used in the merit evaluation, and transfer students are not eligible. There is no separate Merit Scholarship application: eligible applicants receive the scholarship decision with admission. AUS's Spring 2027 undergraduate admission cycle opens October 12, 2026 and closes December 24, 2026.
Eligibility requirements
First-time undergraduate applicants must meet AUS admission requirements and the university's merit criteria. The current financial-aid page states an average equivalent to 95% or above in Grades 10 and 11; transfer students are not eligible. Scholarship availability is limited and a merit award is not guaranteed solely by meeting the threshold.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified against AUS's current Financial Grants and Scholarships page and Spring 2027 undergraduate admissions deadlines. The December 24 date is the admission deadline, not a separate scholarship deadline; scholarship consideration is automatic.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
