MBI Al Jaber Foundation welcomes Iraqi scholars to the UK!

Our Iraq scholarship programme came to fruition this week with the enrolment of Iraqi MBI Scholars at partner institutions across London.

Applications had been invited from Iraqi nationals to apply for full scholarships to undertake a Masters’ Degree, and after a good response and shortlisting, interviews took place in the region.

The successful candidates are now taking up places at UCL, Westminster and SOAS, and are studying a wide range of subjects from medical sciences to journalism and financial law.

The MBI Scholars were chosen not only for their academic prowess, but for their desire to return to their country and make a contribution.

The interview panel, which included Iraqi academics and representatives of the Iraq Higher Education Organisational Committee, remarked on the high quality of all of the candidates.
