A new scholarship programme has been launched to benefit students of the British University of Bahrain.

As part of its efforts to support young people in the kingdom, Al Mabarrah Al Khalifia Foundation announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the university to provide scholarships for students in Bahrain.

Under the deal, the university will be added to the foundation’s partner universities where it will provide scholarships to a number of majors offered to the eligible students.

The scholarship will include benefits of the Rayaat programme such as covering all university fees, including book fees, receiving monthly financial incentives based on educational achievement, in addition to the opportunity to take part in workshops and skills development courses, as well as training opportunities in both government and private sectors.

The grantee student will also be able to issue a Rayaat card that provides many benefits such as community service opportunities and volunteer work, participation in monthly educational and recreational activities.

The university opened in 2018 in partnership with the University of Salford – Manchester, as an extension of its campus.

The ‘Rayaat Scholarship’ programme was launched in 2011, in line with the foundation’s vision to provide students with scholarship opportunities at accredited universities in the kingdom.
