Iraq Education Initiative Scholarship Basics for Students

[Please note that Al Jamiat is privately held by an education company, there is NO affiliation with the Iraqi government, scholarship or their partners. We are only assisting students in answering basic questions and directing them to the main website of the Iraqi Education Initiative as highlighted in the first paragraph below. The official website of the Iraq Education Initiative is: Higher Committee for Education Development in Iraq ]

So many Iraqi students are asking us about the scholarship and the basics…so here they are as we understand them. The best and most accurate information can be found on the official site of the Higher Committee for Education Development in Iraq (?????? ??????? ?????? ??????? ?? ??????).

The newly launched Iraq Education Initiative scholarships will allow approximately 50,000 Iraqi students study in English speaking countries across the world.  The first group of scholarships are being awarded for the upcoming year (2009/2010) and the scholarship application is open for students to apply. The Iraqi scholarship application is available here: http://www.hcediraq.org/index_files/Apply.htm

This is a scholarship awarded by the Iraqi government and requires students to return home to work for the same amount of time they were studying.  The students are fully funded by the government of Iraq.  There are currently NO open offices for students to go to for the scholarship. In order to receive it, you MUST fill out the application and send it in.

Fast Facts:

  • 500-600 scholarships to be awarded in September 2009 to Iraqi students
  • Students must apply to English speaking Universities (United States, United Kingdom, Australia, etc)
  • Scholarships include tuition, fees, and living stipend
  • Students may apply for Associates (2 year), Bachelors, Masters and PhD programs
  • English language program study is available for students to improve language skills
  • Open to all accredited Universities, Colleges, Community Colleges
  • Scholarships are awarded according to the percentage of population in each province of Iraq
  • 10,000 scholarships available for the next 5 years (beginning in 2o10/2011)

The first step you MUST take is to complete the scholarship application! Once you have completed your application, you will need to start thinking about where you want to attend college.  The next steps will be easier once you have your application for the Iraqi scholarship completed.

To start you will need to:
1. Review the rules for the Iraq education scholarship
2. Fill out the scholarship application carefully and accurately
a.  Bachelors degree scholarship application
b. Masters/PhD scholarship application
3. Send application in to the Higher Committee (HCED)
4. Receive confirmation of your application from the Committee
5. Wait for a response regarding your scholarship

Umar, in fact Iraqis do have access to free university education inside Iraq. These scholarships allow students to go outside of the country to study!

Hi,

My name is Harman, I am Iraqi and living in Iraq, graduated from College of Medicine.

My comment is a question and it has too many links to the subject above.

I applied to the HCED-Iraq scholarship and after few days, they sent me an email and they called me that I've been selected and they invited me to the interview, I went to Baghdad and made that interview successfully. Total available seats allocated to my city was 11, and I was the ONLY one there.

All these events; application, notification, invitation, and interviewing took less than a MONTH, BUT since then, they are neglecting me, every time I sent them an email, their reply is the same, and only saying that we are waiting Ministry of Health's decision, and today 2 months will exceed since the interview...

My QUESTION is that, is there any one out there, who has been a candidate, or accepted in the HCED-Iraq, or knows anyone, yes ANYONE, near or far, who has been accepted in this scholarship and went outside successfully??? Is this program is real or fake? As I know no one has been accepted or went outside through this scholarship. Is it true they will send us, or they will just postpone appointments, time after time? It is real or just killing our time?

Please help me, 'cause I am trying hardly to not lose faith and hope, but I am beginning to lose it.

If any one interested in giving a hand, or a trace leading to anything, please don't hesitate to contact me here on this nice website or just by contacting me through this email; tola297(at)gmail(dot)com.

I really appreciate any help....

Kind Regards;
Harman

Iraq was the hub of education and there were a large number of students who went there for study and now they they and are professional and famous personalities because of that education. I know a man who provide kids voice over service and writing service to people and he studied from Iraq.

Probably there is lot needed to be done for the students and hopefully the ideas will help students to memorize all those sufficient details which they must need to occupy within some meaning and values.
