5 October 2011- The Government scholarship programs in Kuwait has
entered its second year, with eight students going to Germany
this year, as opposed to three Kuwaiti high-school graduates covered by
the program in 2010. Kuwaiti nationals who have earned their Thanawiyya 'Amma
certificate are now eligible for fully funded scholarships that cover
preparation in Kuwait, a language course and a foundation year in
Germany, as well as tuition and a living allowance during
their course of study. Kuwaiti nationals who
have earned a first degree and desire to pursue a master's degree are
equally eligible for fully funded scholarships for study at a German
university.The DAAD will take an active role in preparing the students
for their stay and during their time in Germany. The first point of
call for students interested in this program is the Ministry of Higher
Education ( MoHE). More detailed information on this program is available in both Arabic and English. To date, an MoU on a similar program in the UAE has been signed, but this program has not been implemented yet. |
