A foreign-assistance grant or cooperative agreement obligated to an implementing partner.

USAID · AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT — $44.0M (LBN)

Key claim: USAID obligated $44.0 million to the American University of Beirut for the Higher Education Scholarships Program (HES) in Lebanon.

Abstract

Agency for International Development obligated $44.0M to AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT, for work in LBN. HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAM (HES)

Why this matters

The $44M HES obligation to the American University of Beirut illustrates how U.S. higher-education assistance is delivered through direct grants to host-country universities rather than solely through State Department exchange partners. It clarifies the division of labor between USAID development scholarships and ECA public-diplomacy programs, and situates Lebanon as a significant recipient of U.S. tertiary-education aid.
