Graduate Studies Scholarship Program (GSSP)

The intent of this action is to acquaint vulnerable Jordanians and Syrian refugees of bachelor’s degree holders with a full scholarship to pursue graduate studies, a Master’s degree. The length of the Master’s study programs runs between 2 to 3 years. The GSSP will be implemented at the following institutions: Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), Yarmouk University (YU), Mu’tah University (MU), GJU, Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT), The action will be managed by DAAD.

Getting a Master’s degree in Jordan, in general, and for the cluster of underserved Jordanians and Syrian refugees is a major launching pad in these people’s career path. It is the first serious career move into high gear with steady hard deliberation. Bear in mind that it would be extremely difficult for those potential candidates to take such action on their own as tuitions of master’s programs across all universities, private and public, are exceedingly high.

Other than a competitive GPA, those Jordanian applicants will be recruited with one single condition, being underserved as it is measured by receiving governmental or NGOs monthly financial assistance from one of the four main entities, NAF, TUA, AF, and ZF. To be a beneficiary of such organizations, the family needs to be way below the poverty line, no one in the family is working or being employed, the house should be rented, among long listed criteria.
