Moroccan Government Scholarship (AMCI)

The scholarship is open to students of all nationalities, though historically the bulk of recipients come from Sub-Saharan Africa and the wider Arab world, reflecting Morocco's diplomatic and educational cooperation agreements. Applicants typically apply through the Moroccan embassy or consulate in their home country, which coordinates with AMCI to process nominations before final admission decisions are made by the host university.

Financial support includes full tuition fee coverage, a monthly living stipend of around 1,750 Moroccan dirhams (roughly USD 190), an additional monthly housing allowance of about 500 dirhams, comprehensive health insurance, and airfare support (typically a one-way ticket at the start of the program and a return ticket on completion). Together, these benefits make the cost of living and studying in Morocco genuinely accessible for students who could not otherwise afford it.

Most instruction at Moroccan public universities is delivered in French, so applicants whose French is not yet strong are usually required to complete a preparatory linguistic year before beginning their main degree program. Some more specialized or English-taught programs exist, but French proficiency remains the default expectation across most disciplines and universities.

Because AMCI scholarships work through embassy nomination channels, timelines and required documents can vary slightly by country. Prospective applicants should contact their nearest Moroccan embassy or consulate directly, in addition to reviewing AMCI's own published guidance, to confirm the exact submission process and deadline for their specific country and academic cycle.
