Dear [recipient name],
We would like to share a unique scholarship opportunity from the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation for Education, a privately-funded philantropic initiative based in Dubai, which aims to support underserved, high-achieving Arab youth with access to education opportunities.
In its first year of operation, the Al Ghurair STEM Scholars Program has been able to support over 400 aspiring Arab students from across the region with full scholarship opportunities to pursue their Bachelor or Master’s degree in STEM programs in the Region and abroad.
The program has launched this year’s first application cycle for young Arab students hoping to pursue their bachelor or graduate studies in STEM subjects at partner universities in the Fall 2018 semester. The deadline for this call is Sunday January 14th, 17:00 (local time in Dubai).
▪ This year, the Foundation has partnered with additional global universities and the scholarship program is now available in Egypt, Lebanon, the UAE, Morocco, Palestine, Jordan, Scotland, and Turkey for more than 200 programs in STEM Fields.
