The scholarships, which entitle the recipients to 20% to 100% off on tuition fees (excluding living and other expenses) were presented to new and continuing students by Prof. Rob Whelan, President, UOWD, at a special ceremony held at UOWD campus in Knowledge Village.
Addressing the recipients, Prof. Rob Whelan, President of UOWD, said,
"UOWD enjoys excellent reputation among corporate and academic circles because of its adherence to high standards. This implies that students need to work doubly hard to win our scholarships. These scholarships therefore represent recognition of truly outstanding students."
Prof. Whelan said UOWD's stress on high standards had produced a band of alumni who now occupy key positions in public and private corporations in the UAE and overseas, and urged the scholarship recipients to network with these alumni to benefit from their experience and connections.
