The Egyptian‑Russian University has announced 40 partial scholarships targeted at students affected by war, according to a bulletin from Al‑Fanar Media. The scholarships are described as partial awards, intended to help displaced, refugee or otherwise conflict‑affected students access undergraduate study in Egypt. For students across the Middle East — including Jordanian applicants — this creates a tangible option to continue higher education where financial or logistical barriers have grown since regional crises.
The Al‑Fanar report also highlights parallel moves in the region, such as Saudi institutions allowing graduates of health‑related programs to transition into medicine in certain cases. Taken together, these developments indicate increasing institutional flexibility toward students whose studies were disrupted by conflict or who hold nontraditional transcripts. Nonetheless, eligibility rules and quotas vary by university and country, so students must verify specifics with each institution.
For students in Jordan considering these opportunities, there are several practical alternatives and supports to weigh. Egypt remains a low‑cost destination with growing scholarship options. Georgia continues to be a primary pathway for medicine and dentistry with WHO and EU‑recognized English programs from roughly $4,000 per year. Domestic options also remain competitive — and students applying through Shatnawi for partner universities receive concrete benefits: a 10% registration discount at Applied Science Private University (ASU), 20% at University of Jordan (UJ), and 25% at Jordan University of Science & Technology (JUST).
What students should do now: first, contact the Egyptian‑Russian University admissions office or check the official announcement to confirm eligibility criteria, application deadlines and required proof of displacement or refugee status. Prepare key documents in advance: academic transcripts, national ID or passport, proof of residence or displacement, and any medical or professional certificates. If the scholarship requires international credentials, consider securing a document equivalency certificate; Shatnawi provides document equivalency support (service fee 70 JOD) and admissions guidance, and can help match applicants to scholarships or alternative programs.
Time is of the essence. Do not assume broad automatic eligibility; submit inquiries early, gather certified translations if needed, and verify visa and residency implications for study in Egypt.
