Five lucky students are set to further their education, thanks to Batelco. The winning students, A. Jalil Hasan Ali Hussain, Zainab Ismail Abdulla, Ebrahim Moh'd Ali Alawadhi, Mohd Salman Ali and Shuaib Hasan Yaqoob Alaali were presented with their Scholarship Prizes at a recent presentation ceremony.
Batelco, as a leading supporter of education in the Kingdom of Bahrain launched a mobile postpaid promotion in November to give students the opportunity to win a university scholarship.
Customers who subscribed to a new Mobile FreeTime 20, FreeTime 100 or Mobile Student Package during November or December were automatically entered into the draw. The university scholarships will cover the cost of four years of enrolment at University of Bahrain or its equivalent. The winners can also utilise the scholarships towards courses at other similar level institutes.
"Batelco is a leading supporter of the youth of Bahrain, annually contributing significant sums of money to promote academic, sports and musical ability to ensure that the Kingdom's future generations stand alongside the best the world has to offer," said Batelco Corporate Affairs General Manager Ahmed Al Janahi.
"In addition, Batelco annually welcomes a number of students into training programmes to give them valuable work experience. In 2006, over 70 students completed industrial training programmes at Batelco's Hamala Headquarters during their summer vacation from university."
