Dubai: The Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation (MBRF) has completed a 14-country pan-Arab roadshow to promote its scholarship programmes for Arab students seeking masters degrees.
MBRF officials met thousands of youths in Arab cities where they promoted the scholarship programme and explained its objectives and conditions.
Mustafa Al Ansari, Vice-President for operations at the MBRF, said: "We are delighted with the excellent feedback we received from the young men and women we met across the Arab world as they have illustrated tremendous zeal in their pursuit of knowledge."
Advanced degrees
"The foundation is firmly committed to optimising this enthusiasm through programmes that facilitate opportunities for post-graduate studies in top-tier universities."
Launched last April, the Pioneers Programme extends financial support to talented Arab youths seeking to acquire a masters degree at leading universities in the Arab world.
Through the Fellows Programme, the foundation aims to assist Arab students in obtaining postgraduate degrees in Business Administration (MBA), Public Administration (MPA), Public Policy (MPP) and Finance from leading international universities.
Al Ansari said: "The Foundation has chosen to focus on these four subjects due to their vital role in effective administration."
