AGFUND scholarships to 125 AOU students || Newspapers (Arabic)

Arab Open University AOU organized a ceremony to deliver 125 scholarships to students, in implementation of the memorandum of understanding concluded between MoSA and the Arab Gulf Development Program (AGFUND) directed by HH Prince Talal Ben AbdulAziz. This memorandum entails the delivery of full tuition grant to around 100 students of low income, thus brining the total number of beneficiaries to 200 students until now.  On that occasion, Minister of Social Affairs, Wael Abou Faour, indicated that students used to receive these scholarships through applying to MoSA, but that was a temporary procedure which has currently changed with the completion of the first phase of the poverty alleviation project to which the scholarship project is now tied.
