Dubai, UAE: Heriot-Watt University Dubai (HWUD) will launch a new scholarship scheme that will run during the holy month of Ramadan this year. Called the HWUD Community Award, this special scholarship will offer students a fee reduction of AED 8,000 for the September 2021 intake.

Commenting on the special scholarship, Claire Roper-Browning, Regional Director - Marketing, Recruitment, Admissions and Communications at Heriot-Watt University Dubai said, “Ramadan represents a time of reflection, togetherness, and generosity. The HWUD Community Award is inspired by these very values and is our way of giving back to our local communities. We hope to help aspiring students achieve their academic potential through this scholarship and bring them one step closer to their desired future.”

This scholarship is available to any student (foundation, undergraduate or postgraduate) applying and paying the tuition fee deposit by May 15, 2021. To secure the scholarship, students must apply and pay 10% of their tuition fees as a non-refundable, advance payment against their tuition fees. The Community Award amount will be distributed equally across the instalment plan for the first year of study.

Students should have an unconditional offer letter or a conditional offer letter from Heriot-Watt University Dubai in order to become eligible for this scholarship. Students with a conditional offer letter must provide the remaining documents in order to proceed with receiving an unconditional offer letter before the start of the academic year. UAE-based students must also provide the required post-dated cheques for the payment of their tuition fees.

Heriot-Watt University Dubai is all set to move to its sprawling new campus at Dubai Knowledge Park next month. The digitally-enabled campus has been designed keeping the future student experience in mind and will support the overall delivery of a wide range of programmes, which include Data Science, Construction and Engineering, Accounting and Finance, Psychology, Architecture and Design, and Computing and AI.

The opening of the new campus in Dubai coincides with the bicentennial anniversary of Heriot-Watt University this year. Founded in 1821 as the world’s first mechanics institute in Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University has transformed itself into a globally, connected university with campuses in the UK, Dubai and Malaysia, and continues to be a pioneer in higher education and research.
