UPEI Cairo Campus actively supports students in achieving their educational goals by offering numerous merit-based scholarships. We award scholarships to students who demonstrate special qualifications, such as academic excellence, athletic achievements, or artistic talents. To be considered, recipients must meet the eligibility criteria and submit all required official documents. In cases where a student qualifies for multiple scholarships or awards, they will receive only the one with the highest value.
