Key Requirements:

• Open to both UAE nationals and international candidates.
• Admission depends on competitive high school grades, standardized math/science test scores, and English language proficiency proofs (such as IELTS or TOEFL).
• Because scholarship slots are capped per department, meeting basic admission thresholds does not guarantee a Tier I or Tier II award.
• Scholars must maintain a specified minimum CGPA each semester to retain their tuition waivers.
