Aramco Internal Audit Dissertation Scholarship

About this program

The Internal Audit Foundation, sponsored by Aramco, funds the Aramco Internal Audit Dissertation Scholarship to support doctoral dissertation research that advances internal auditing, awarding up to two recipients annually with up to $10,000 USD disbursed over a period generally not exceeding 18 months and typically paid in milestone-linked installments. Eligible applicants are doctoral candidates (PhD/DBA) in auditing, accounting, business, or related fields at accredited institutions who have completed—or are within one year of completing—required coursework and pre‑dissertation exams and who intend to contribute to internal audit education and research. Applications are due in April with notifications by July 31; required materials include a cover letter, one‑page dissertation summary, a 3–4 page proposal, a project schedule, and two faculty recommendation letters.
