Saudi Arabian Scholarship Program Continues to Transform Education and Training
The Saudi Arabian international scholarship program, which began in 1927 under King Abdulaziz, has been a pillar of the country's education and training transformation.
The program initially sent students to study in Egypt, then expanded to Europe and the US.
The current Saudi scholarship program, revamped by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has four main tracks and aims to send 70,000 male and female students to more than 251 cities in 15 countries.
The program provides students with new enriching experiences, keeping pace with science, and exchanging experiences with other minds.
The number of Saudi universities listed in the QS World University Rankings by Subject has increased from nine in 2019 to 14 in 2022, with King Abdulaziz University holding the top spot for the 2023 QS Arab Region University Rankings.
The scholarship program remains important as "an indispensable qualitative addition, regardless of the level of education in a country."
