A growing number of educational scholarships are on offer to UAE students ahead of the upcoming academic school year.
SchoolApply, a Dubai-based edtech startup firm, is offering a $30,000 or a full scholarship to students who want to study at a university abroad.
The Emerging Entrepreneur Scholarship is open to undergraduate or postgraduate students who have a startup idea they want to pursue while they are enrolled at a university.
"The idea for our scholarships is that we want to help smart international students who don't have the means to pursue their dream education. We're trying to give back a little to the students who are trusting us. Hopefully we can get other institutions to follow and award students scholarships," said Daniel Bjarne, co-founder and CEO of SchoolApply,
"It's for students who have a desire to pursue education anywhere in the world. It could also be students who want to come to the UAE to study.
"The scholarship is up to $30,000 and could be a full scholarship - depending on which institution they're going to. We will be awarding it to someone who has an entrepreneurial mindset and who can benefit from an education to realise that idea."
Some of the startup ideas already submitted by students interested in the scholarships include developing a Methane Farming Facility in order to trap methane gas from cow dungs and turn it into a renewable energy source. Another one is a bionic yarn that would be made from recyclables to help with the increase in clothing from retailers ending up in landfills. The yard would be biodegradable.
