Exciting news about the new scholarships at the American University in Bulgaria.

Due to the availability of external funding AUBG will be FREE if the sum of your verbal and math scores on the SAT test is 1300 or more. We have the resources to offer every excellent student a full, 4-year scholarship that covers 100% of the tuition.
