DOHA: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has launched a student support programme, which will continue until the end of August and aims to facilitate scholarship procedures, familiarize students with them, and resolve any issues they encounter during the application for the government scholarship programme.
Director of the Scholarships Department at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education Noora Mohammed Al Ansari said that by launching and implementing the government scholarship plan for the academic year 2024/2025, the department aims to apply new visions to facilitate student application procedures. So far, the number of scholarship applications has reached 2200 across various disciplines offered for domestic and international scholarships, she noted.
Al Ansari emphasized the importance of student attendance at the interviews as a fundamental requirement to complete the scholarship procedures, as it aims to achieve the desired benefit of linking scholarship students with future employers they will join after university studies.
She noted that public service is available daily throughout the registration period through dedicated committees to support students and follow up on services provided to them. These services include registration procedures, activating new application services, uploading required documents, and responding to scholarship-related inquiries.
External Scholarship Officer at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education Samia Nasser Al Ansari, highlighted students' and parents' significant interest in public service, with the daily number of beneficiaries of the services ranging between 70 to 75 students and parents.
She assured that the Scholarship Department effectively addressed students' inquiries about university registration procedures, primary election, and scholarship conditions, providing technical support to resolve electronic issues, thereby facilitating and expediting the registration process.
