AIR Center Scholarship Awards Program (ASAP) is launched to offer international scholarship to foreign students, experts, scholars, academics and non-profit organization experts. The ASAP intends to provide scholarships for postgraduate study and professional development every year. The scholarships are provided by the ASAP Selection Committee for individuals with demonstrable leadership potential who also have strong academic backgrounds and a strong vision for the future. 

The main purpose of the scholarship is to enhance studies about Azerbaijan and the whole region. The researchers with fresh and creative perspectives and ideas in strengthening international peace and security, identifying and preventing possible foreign threats to Azerbaijan’s sovereignty, and especially on the Armenia-Azerbaijan post-conflict period are welcomed.  

The AIR Center is an open platform giving access to a wide range of exclusive academic, professional, and cultural experiences by providing training for skilled students, professionals and academics. Towards this end, the ASAP is a unique opportunity to build an international network of researchers. The ASAP will also allow foreign researchers to experience Azerbaijan’s heritage, history and culture. 

Applicants should submit; CV, two letters of recommendation, a project description as well as a sample of previous research, articles, etc to [email protected] email address. 

If your application is successful, the ASAP will notify you via email that you have been provisionally selected. You are expected to adhere to high standards of behavior and to show respect to local traditions and guidelines set by the AIR Center. Foreign applicants are expected to reside in Azerbaijan during the scholarship period and return home country after the end of that period. 

Today, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, scholarships can be given to distant research for a period of 3-6 months. For more information and inquiries [email protected]  please contact
