I applied for a Fulbright Scholarship at the Binational Fulbright Commission in Egypt today. The application was pretty straightforward: Two essays (i. research / study objective, ii. personal statement), three letters of reference (at least one academic) and transcripts etc).

From what I have heard, the Fulbright scholarships are very competitive especially for MBAs.

I have also started looking into the Citi-Assist loans and am exploring options at the Mohamed Bin Rashid Foundation.
