HOW LINK WORKS
Opportunity needs
people around it.
A place in education is the beginning. LINK’s work brings together three commitments: Know, Grow and Bridge.
STAGE ONE
Know
Recognise potential and the person behind it.
Start with what someone has already shown, and what could help them grow.
Academic promise matters. So do curiosity, commitment, resilience and the drive to grow. In the AUC scholarship, outreach through schools and local networks helps bring that potential into view.
WHAT THE AUC SCHOLARSHIP LOOKS FOR
Academic promise and curiosity
Commitment, resilience and initiative
The drive to learn and grow
STAGE TWO
Grow
Help students learn, settle in and keep going.
Funding makes study possible. Guidance and a community help students make the most of it.
The AUC scholarship covers tuition, university housing and a monthly living stipend. Support through other programmes depends on the institution and intake.

As the community grows, each cohort can share what it has learned with the next. Graduates may build careers in Egypt or abroad, and contribute through their expertise, networks, businesses and ideas.
What someone receives can become what they pass on.
Carrying forward takes many forms. Each person finds their own.
