Amman, Aug. 11 (Petra) – The Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) Tuesday
announced applications are open for its 12 scholarships for
recruitment purposes, designated for top-performing students in the
2026 General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (Tawjihi),
as each governorate is allocated 1 scholarship.

In a statement, the CBJ said the scholarships will support students
pursuing bachelor’s degrees at Jordanian public universities in
economics, statistics, accounting, and finance specialties, starting
in the first semester of the 2026/2027 academic year.

As for eligibility criteria, applicants must be Jordanian nationals
and graduates of the 2026 Tawjihi academic stream, with an average of
at least 95 percent. They must also meet the admission requirements
for one of the covered majors under the applicable university
admission criteria.

The CBJ said students who obtained foreign secondary school
certificates in 2026 may also apply, adding that their certificates
must be officially recognized by the Ministry of Education and their
average is at least 95 percent.

Applicants must have completed their final two academic years at a
school located in the same governorate of application and must not be
older than 19 as of August 11, marking the date of the scholarship
announcement.

Additionally, applicants must have no felony or misdemeanor
convictions involving honor, integrity, public morals, or ethics, and
must not be receiving another scholarship or be sponsored under
another study program.

Applicants must submit an unconditional admission letter from the
educational institution they will attend, with admission to the
regular program rather than the parallel program.

The CBJ urged eligible students to complete the online application
through its website from Tuesday until 4 p.m. on Tuesday, August 25.

It added that applications will be subject to the relevant terms and
conditions published on its website, including the bank’s policy
governing employment relationships among relatives.
