Egyptian participants are eligible for financial support through their school’s participation in the Industrial Modernization Council (IMC-Egypt) project. To make use of this support, schools must register at the IMC website, www.imc-egypt.org. Once a school has registered, they will be able to apply for the AUC Education Certificate programs on behalf of their staff. Up to 80% of program costs are covered by this support, with schools and/or participants paying the remaining 20%. For further information on this service, email educprog@aucegypt.edu.
