Higher Education: New Scholarship Benefits to Boost Talent Competitiveness
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education in the United Arab Emirates announced the approval of a decision by the Council of Ministers aimed at developing the national scholarship system, with a focus on enhancing the efficiency of investment in the national human capital. The decision involves organizing various stages of the scholarship program, from eligibility and acceptance criteria to selecting majors and universities, guiding students toward priority fields aligned with labor market needs. It also includes improvements to the financial and academic benefits for scholarship recipients, such as increasing the study readiness allowance to 30,000 dirhams and expanding health and living support, to enhance students' experiences and maximize the benefits of educational programs. Currently, the program serves around 500 students pursuing undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees, aligning with efforts to better match academic disciplines with the country's economic needs.
