From the Heart of the New Administrative Capital, German International University Celebrates Egypt’s Top Governorate Students and Awards 38 Full Scholarships

From the heart of Egypt’s New Administrative Capital, the German International University (GIU) celebrated outstanding students from governorates across Egypt who were awarded full scholarships in recognition of their academic excellence. The celebration reflects the University’s continued commitment to supporting high-achieving students from across the country and providing them with access to high-quality university education that meets international standards, combining strong academic foundations, practical application, scientific research, and exposure to international expertise.

The initiative is part of an annual tradition adopted by both the German International University (GIU) and the German University in Cairo (GUC) to support outstanding students and encourage them to pursue their path toward excellence. Through these opportunities, the two universities seek to empower a new generation of talented young Egyptians from across the governorates to make meaningful contributions to Egypt’s future.

Dr. Ashraf Mansour: Supporting Outstanding Students Is a National Responsibility and an Investment in Egypt’s Young Talent

Dr. Ashraf Mansour, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the German University in Cairo and the German International University, affirmed that the scholarships awarded to outstanding students from Egypt’s governorates go beyond recognizing their academic achievements; they represent a national responsibility and a genuine investment in Egypt’s young talent.

He stressed the commitment of both universities to ensuring that the scholarship program reaches students from all governorates across the country.

Dr. Mansour explained that the two universities have awarded a total of 79 full scholarships to top students from Egypt’s governorates this year, including 38 full scholarships at the German International University (GIU) and 41 full scholarships at the German University in Cairo (GUC).

This, he noted, reflects the universities’ commitment to making high-quality German education accessible to outstanding students, ensuring that geographical location does not become an obstacle to their academic ambitioN

Dr. Ashraf Mansour pointed out that the scholarships stem from the belief that Egypt’s young people represent one of the country’s greatest assets, and that the responsibility of educational institutions extends beyond providing knowledge to identifying talented students, nurturing excellence, and creating an environment that enables young people to transform their abilities into achievements that serve society and the nation.

He added that the academic disciplines and programs offered by the German International University are closely aligned with the needs of the future and focus on fields witnessing rapid growth both locally and internationally.

He further emphasized that both universities continue to strengthen their position and leadership in the fields of education, scientific research, practical application, and innovation.
