New Collaboration with Effat University, Saudi Arabia
The MBI Al Jaber Foundation is pleased to announce that we have been working with Effat University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to create a new scholarship programme for female undergraduates.
Effat University is a leading private higher education institution for women situated in Jeddah, and is the living legacy of Queen Effat's vision for education. The university provides an interdisciplinary environment, conducive to research and life long learning.
Under the new programme, scholarships will be offered to a number of outstanding Saudi nationals who wish to study an undergraduate degree at Effat University. This is part of the MBI Al Jaber Foundation’s vision of the advancement of the education of women in the Arab world. Students will be able to choose from the range of disciplines offered by the University, and on graduation the best students will be eligible to apply for the broader Foundation Masters’ Degree programme in the UK.
