Sherif Kamel , Dean, The American University in Cairo School of Business We offer a range of dedicated scholarships to candidates with a weaker financial and social background. One example is the AMS Fund for Innovative and Sustainable Entrepreneurship. The fund selects fellows from developing countries who, besides studying for a master’s degree, also receive coaching in developing innovative and sustainable business ideas.
