Iraq Education Initiative Project

American Universities Iraqi Consortium

A major component of the IEI Project at AED is the establishment of the American Universities Iraqi Consortium.  Accredited U.S. universities and colleges interested in serving students from Iraq under the HCED Scholarship Program are invited to become a member of the Consortium.  HCED will be placing students with Consortium members that can streamline the admissions and placement process for Iraqi students.  Colleges and universities that offer the following are encouraged to join the Consortium:

• Provisional (conditional) admissions
• One point of contact for admissions to all programs
• ESL training onsite or nearby
• Issuance of DS -2019s so students can travel on J visas
• SAT waivers

Consortium Registration

To join the Consortium, interested U.S Colleges and Universities are invited to complete the American Univerities Iraq Consortium Survey. The survey requires responses about various offices at each Institution.  One completed survey for each Institution is strongly preferred.
