CUE Scholarships
Scholarships at the Catholic University in Erbil (CUE)
CUE scholarships help talented students from vulnerable backgrounds access an English-taught university education in an environment grounded in inclusion, dignity, and coexistence. We work with trusted partners and benefactors to invest in Iraq’s future leaders and professionals.
Please note: Scholarship programmes open and close based on funding cycles and available slots. This page stays active for transparency, promotion, and future opportunities.
Scholarship opportunities are subject to available funding and donor priorities. Meeting eligibility requirements does not guarantee scholarship selection or award.
Scholarship Application Status – AY 2026–2027
- There are currently no confirmed open scholarship calls for AY 2026–27. However, students interested in future scholarship opportunities may submit the preliminary documents indicated in the For Students section.
- These documents will be received and kept on file by the Scholarship Office for possible consideration when donor-funded scholarship opportunities and available slots are confirmed.
- If a suitable scholarship opportunity becomes available, the Scholarship Office may contact potentially eligible candidates by email and request additional documents or information for screening according to the specific criteria of the supporting donor.
Submitting preliminary documents does not mean that a scholarship is currently available and does not guarantee selection or financial support.
