dubai - Scholarships to the tune of $1.1billion (Dh4.2 billion) will be awarded to high-achieving, under-privileged Emirati and Arab students to get access to educational opportunities.
The dedicated scholarship programme 'Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation for Education' is now one of the largest privately funded philanthropic education initiatives in the world. The foundation will reach a minimum of 15,000 promising Arab youth pursuing Stem (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education over the next 10 years, as well as support 5,000 high-achieving grade 11 and 12 Emirati students at public schools, preparing them to study Stem in top universities.
Over half of the 369 million people living in the region are under the age of 25, but employment is high in many countries in which youth do not have access to quality education or job opportunities.
Criteria for Scholarship >Students between 15 and 30 year old >Should be an Arab national >Should have earned no less than an 85% GPA in high school or no less than a 3.0 at university >Be proficient in English to standards acceptable by top universities >Be able and willing to provide proof of financial need >Be admitted to one of our partner universities for an undergraduate or graduate degree in a Stem-related programme >Preference for applicants who have lived in the Arab world for at least 12 years |
