Dear All,

Greetings! The NYU Abu Dhabi Initiative that I am currently working with at IIE is a really cool program. It offers high school students generous financial support (up to full scholarship) to study at NYU's new portal campus in Abu Dhabi for 4 year undergraduate degrees. Please help pass on the news to whoever might be interested.

Plus, qualified students will be offered free trips to Abu Dhabi during one of the five candidate weekends; they could see the campus and city before making a commit to go study there.

Thanks,

Vivica


*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

NYU Abu Dhabi is a research university that fully integrates a liberal arts and science undergraduate college, linked to a major university in the United States. With the support of NYU’s renowned faculty, students will pursue undergraduate degrees in over 17 areas of study. Students at NYU Abu Dhabi will have access to state of the art laboratories, libraries, and research centers, and will be expected to take full advantage of NYU’s global network. A semester abroad (up to 3 semesters) at any one of NYU’s global campuses is highly encouraged, and students will be challenged outside of the classroom through research projects, internships, and extracurricular activities.

 

Benefits

 

  • Generous financial support will be available to ensure that no qualified applicant is unable to attend because of a lack of financial resources.
  • Support for cost of attendance would cover tuition, room, board and travel.
  • Unmatched degree of faculty mentoring and involvement.
  • Admissions will be "need blind," and students will be chosen based on their academic potential and qualifications.
  • A liberal arts and science education focused on the whole person rather than specialized professional training.
  • Vital integration with a major research university in its full global extension.
  • Emphasis on research and the skills to create new knowledge.
  • Active international recruitment of students.
  • A residential college culture.
