The Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation for Education (AGFE) has awarded 255 scholarships to underserved Arab youth at Arizona State University (ASU) to pursue their online master’s degrees. AGFE is currently closing the final application cycles of its Al Ghurair Open Learning Scholars Programme (OLSP).
This will bring the total number of scholars enrolled as part of the OLSP to 550 since its launch in 2017.
The awardees represent 17 nationalities across the Arab region, with women making up over half of the group, and 40% being first-generation university students - the first in their families to pursue higher education.
