MBRF launches Scholarship Programme for Arab countries
posted on 20/11/2008
 A delegation from the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation is in Jordan to promote its "Pioneers" and "Fellows" programmes, aimed at encouraging aspiring Arab youth to explore opportunities for postgraduate studies in leading global and regional universities.
Sultan Al Jasmi, Director of Marketing and Communications at the Foundation, held a press conference on Tuesday to launch the programme in Jordan, one of 14 Arab countries to benefit from programme and the first leg of a roadshow that will also cover Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and the UAE.
The tour comes close on the heels of the delegation's visit to the US where cooperation opportunities were discussed with 10 leading universities to enhance educational opportunities in the Arab world through capacity building, education and training.
Launched last April, the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Pioneers Programme extends the necessary financial support to talented Arab youth seeking to acquire Masters Degrees at leading universities in the Arab world.
Through the Fellows Programme, launched last year, the Foundation has opened new horizons for aspiring Arab students to obtain postgraduate degrees in Business Administration (MBA), Public Administration (MPA), Public Policy (MPP) and Finance from top tier international universities.
Through its partnerships with leading regional and international universities, the Foundation aims to create a pool of talented and knowledgeable young leaders who can efficiently steer development efforts in the region. – Emirates News Agency, WAM
