AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation (MKF) has announced the renewal of its scholarship agreement with the University of Bahrain (UOB) which includes providing Bachelor degree scholarships.

The Rayaat scholarship program covers students’ tuition fees, provides them with the chance to participate in workshops and development courses and offers training opportunities in both the public and private sectors.

Besides, the students will receive financial incentives, a chance to serve their communities, and volunteer and participate in monthly educational and recreational meetings.

Students will be issued a Rayaat card that will provide them with a wide range of benefits.

AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation aims to focus primarily on supporting their students and encouraging them to benefit from a wide array of activities and initiatives.

These initiatives aim to refine their personalities on all levels, which will in turn help in their effective contribution towards the revitalization of the Kingdom.

The Foundation has provided 302 scholarships, 225 of which were to the University of Bahrain, which has supported the Foundation’s initiatives since its inception.

“I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to the University of Bahrain for their incredible work and cooperation," Her Highness Shaikha Zain bint Khalid Al Khalifa, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation, said.

"The university shares our efforts in empowering Bahraini youth and developing their educational and practical skills across various fields. The Rayaat program aligns with the Foundation’s aim in supporting young Bahrainis to achieve their dreams and ambitions with distinction. We provide them with the opportunity to pursue a university education to create an educated, and knowledgeable generation that is capable of tackling any challenges they may face, henceforth, enabling them to contribute to society and push it towards a future full of development and prosperity."

The Rayaat Scholarship program was launched in 2011 as a comprehensive approach to promote educational achievement and personal development. The program provides scholarships for students to join an accredited university in Bahrain.

It also offers numerous benefits that include financial incentives, workshops and opportunities, while promoting a culture of ‘community responsibility” by instilling volunteerism and community service within a supportive environment.

MKF is a non-profit foundation registered and licensed by the Ministry of Labour and Social Development. Established in 2011 in Bahrain, it aims to make a social impact in the education field and to empower Bahraini youth to reach their optimum potential.

 By providing Bahraini youth with knowledge, skills and character, it is hoped that they will be able to develop themselves and their Kingdom further.
