In Search of a Few Great Iraqi Students

28 July 2009 925 views 3 Comments

You’ve read the hundreds of reports (finally, they caught up with Al Jamiat!) on the newly launched Iraq Education Initiative. A fantastic new program from the Iraqi government to provide 10,000 scholarships for Iraqi students over the next 5 years.

The program begins with a pilot program, a small class of 500-600 students for the upcoming academic year.  Students must apply for the scholarship here: http://www.hcediraq.org/index_files/Apply.htm and we suggest you apply TODAY, the Iraqi scholarship application for 2009/2010 closes on September 1, 2009.

Currently it appears that the application is only in Arabic. If any Kurdish students need assistance, let us know so we can find a person to help with translation for you.

The scholarship is currently only open to Iraqi citizens who are currently living in Iraq and have lived in Iraq for the 2 years prior to the application.  Applications are for Bachelors and Masters & PhD degrees, there are age requirements for the different degrees which you can find here:
http://www.hcediraq.org/index_files/Eligibility.htm

You do NOT need to take the TOEFL in order to be considered for the scholarship, however, it will assist in your application process. You can learn more about the TOEFL here and find locations for where it is administered in Iraq from the official website of ETS.

Once you’ve completed your scholarship application, its probably a good idea to start figuring out where you want to study! Let us know if you have any questions and if you need any help with your decisions. We highly recommend our friends at MyUSearch as one of the few UNBIASED college matchmakers out there!

    It is very necessary to have an open-minded professional educator. I would like to discuss my view point far from gaining some profits in return. The teacher is highlighted first by his students because they are the best evaluators. In the University of Baghdad I faced good learners for five consecutive years who could evaluate well and diagonise the best and never vote for the traitors. The good sacrificer is that who give all he knows for learners. There is a good professional educator who donated the fees of his lectures and demanded to teach without asking for any return. It is a matter of giving without limitation. If you want to hear the truth contact learners of English Politology now they are in the 4th year. You may ask student of Chemical Engineering in University of Technology or you may ask those learners of English in the Center of Development and Long-Life Education. They all good witnesses for the best who could sacrifice for all without distiction.

    We need a clean Baghdad and It is our duty to clean our city. We must not throw empty cans of soft drinks but only in the specified places located for that. We need to clean the places we sit on before departure. The lavatories should be cleaned by the users before leaving so that the coming user will behave the same. It is the responsibility of all to do so. We have to respect each other because we need to unify at the moment. We need to argue but for the benefit of our country and people. Let us show to the rest of the World that we are the real Cradle of Civilization. We need to shown the World that we are the creator of Modern Civilization. Iraq is having a big progress in all fields so let us improve our advancement and proress to have our race with the rest of the Worlds’Nations. We have a bright history so let us have a bright future for our coming generations. Let us be real Iraqis and show our love to our country, the Arab World and the entire World states. We are the people of hardship and we will never yield.
