Overview
AUC's First-Year Achievement Award provides 15%, 25% or 35% tuition support for the first academic year to eligible Fall 2026 entrants, with current opportunities continuing while award slots remain available.
Complete scholarship details
The First-Year Achievement Award applies to Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 tuition only. AUC states that award percentages may be 15%, 25% or 35%, and that opportunities are still available until slots are filled. Support does not automatically continue after the first year; continuing students may later compete for other financial-support opportunities subject to eligibility and available funding.
Eligibility requirements
The award is for eligible first-year AUC students and is based primarily on secondary-school academic results. Applicants seeking scholarships must check the scholarship box on the AUC admissions application and complete the scholarship application sent after the admission application is submitted. AUC notes that applicants who submitted after 1 June 2026 are placed on a waiting list pending available slots.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check the scholarship box on the AUC admissions application.
- Submit all scholarship-support documents before final submission because AUC says incomplete scholarship applications cannot be reopened.
- 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 on AUC's current admissions/funding page and current scholarship FAQ. AUC states 15%, 25% or 35% first-year tuition coverage for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 and says opportunities remain available until slots are filled. No fixed closing date is stated, so no deadline is invented.
