Education Minister Dr Majid bin Ali Al Nuaimi yesterday endorsed the scholarship plan for the university year, 2021-2022. He affirmed the Ministry’s keenness to continue offering scholarships and study grants for Bahraini high school graduates with a grade point average (GPA) of 90% or more to compete on, in accordance with the terms and standards in force.

Dr Al Nuaimi pointed out that allocating scholarships and tuition fees are subject to the terms and conditions set by the Scholarships Committee at the Education Ministry.

The Minister noted that this year, they are based on the students’ GPA because of the inability to hold exams and personal interviews due to the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the need to adhere to the precautionary measures.

He affirmed that all top-achieving high school graduates, from government and private schools, will receive scholarships or tuition fees based on their GPA.

Dr Al Nuaimi said that the annual scholarship plan is prepared based on the needs of the Education Ministry, in particular, and those of the Bahraini labour market, in general.

He extended sincere thanks and appreciation to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for their unwavering care and support for the education march, as well as their constant interest in outstanding and top-achieving students, being the pillars of the Kingdom’s progress and prosperity.

High school graduates with a GPA of at least 90% and wishing to vie for the scholarships allocated for 2021-2022 are required to visit the websites (www.moe. gov.bh) or (www.bahrain.bh) for registration between Thursday and Sunday.

The Ministry also called on students who still have not received their passcodes to register for scholarships and tuition fees to contact the technical support during the official working hours only
