Following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Deyaar and DWC, the company announced its commitment to offer annual scholarships for 10 national students, covering all their education-related expenses for the lifetime of the scholarship.

The scholarships may be renewed on a yearly basis for those students who maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or above by the end of each academic year, without any future work commitments.

The scholarships offered by Deyaar are open to all DWC students who have enrolled on a full-time basis for at least two consecutive semesters, including all disciplines available within the Higher Diploma and Bachelor programs.

"Founded nearly two decades ago, DWC stands at the forefront of educational provision in the UAE, providing young women with the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in the country's increasingly globalised workplace. We are extremely pleased to offer our support to an exceptional group of Emirati students at DWC, providing them with the freedom to focus on their studies and prepare for the exciting opportunities that lie ahead,"
said His Excellency Nasser Bin Hassan Al-Shaikh, Director-General of the Dubai Department of Finance and Chairman of Deyaar.
