American Universities Iraq Consortium

Many folks have asked about the universities that are the core of the American Universities Iraq Consortium, we searched online to see if there was a list or a website anywhere but all we found was the website for the British Universities Iraq Consortium.

The main issue I saw with the site was that they seem aimed at universities more than the students. It would be much more useful if there was a clear “student section” where they could point out that one application is all that’s needed for any Iraqi student holding the HCED Iraq Education Initiative scholarship. Wow that’s pretty cool.

So until there is an American Universities Iraq Consortium (soon we hope!) here is a list of the Universities who were in Iraq for the inaugural college fair.

Emporia State University
Gannon University
La Roche College
Monterey Institue of International Studies
Southern Illinois University – Carbondale
Texas A & M
The University of Kansas
The University System of Ohio
Troy University
University of Bridgeport
University of Central Missouri
University of Evansville
University of Iowa
University of Kentucky
University of Oregon
Valparaiso University
Vanderbilt University
Virginia Commonwealth University
West Virginia University
Winthrop University

All comments about the consortium from the HCED so far have said there is no specific criteria for joining the group. Any (accredited) college or university can recruit and admit an Iraqi student – so maybe you should worry less about the consortium until there is more information from AED about it, and just start recruiting!
