The Undergraduate scholarships, each worth around Dhs. 125,000, cover full tuition fees and are available to new entry-level students only and not for re-enrolling students.
Prof. Nick van der Walt, CEO of UOWD, said: "As an excellence-driven institution, UOWD has always sought to reward outstanding students. This year we are pleased to increase the number of scholarships for undergraduate students to demonstrate our commitment to encouraging promising young students."
"As one of the few universities accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, UOWD seeks to enhance its standards of delivering high quality education that is relevant to both Emirati and expatriate students. The increased number of scholarships reflects this philosophy and we are confident the most deserving students will benefit," Prof. Nick van der Walt added.
The scholarships will be awarded in accordance with strict eligibility and selection criteria. They are only available to students who satisfy the academic and English language proficiency requirements of UOWD.
The scholarships are being supported by Australian Business in the Gulf (ABIG), the Iranian Business Council and the South African Business Council.
