The criteria to receive the scholarship is a minimum academic achievement from high school of 80%, and ability in the English language (as per The Emirates Academy and Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research entry regulations).

We are delighted to introduce this scholarship opportunity and are looking forward to seeing more Emirati students enrolling into our programmes and joining one of the fastest growing industries in the world."
