Scholarships for meritorious Emirati students
ABU DHABI - Registration for the higher education scholarship programme of the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) for the academic year 2010/11 began on Sunday. The scholarship aims to provide financial support to top graduating students to pursue university education in electronic engineering, aerospace engineering, architecture, mechanical engineering, material sciences, economics, accounting, finance and medicine.
The programme is open to Emirati students who have scored 85 per cent and above on their General Secondary Certificate or its equivalent at private schools. University students who are already majoring in these subjects, and who have completed 30 credit hours while maintaining a cumulative 3.0 GPA are also eligible to apply.
The scholarship will enable selected students to study within the UAE at internationally accredited institutions. In addition to university tuitions, scholars will also receive a monthly allowance.
Applicants will undergo a stringent process and selected students are expected to continue to achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.0 throughout their university study
“This scholarship illustrates ADEC’s commitment to encourage high-achieving students to continue their educational development regardless of financial need. Three new majors — aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering and material sciences — have been added to the accepted list of majors this year in order to encourage students to specialise in a range of disciplines that will help them actively contribute to the social and economic growth of the UAE,” said Mona Majed, Division manager of Counselling and Scholarships at ADEC.
“In order to establish ourselves as international leaders, we must have citizens who are academically accomplished and professionally equipped to drive economic development in both the private and public sectors of the UAE,” she added.
The application form can be downloaded from the ADEC website. The filled form has to be submitted at the ADEC headquarters along with eight passport photographs, a copy the UAE ID and passport, certified copies of grade 10, 11, and 12 academic records, acceptance letter from an accredited university, and a transcript of records for university students who wish to be enrolled into the programme.
Out of 345 applicants last year, 197 students were selected of which 33 were university students and 164, high school graduates.
