Of the 732 scholarships in the UAE, 582 went to undergraduate students, 148 to master\u2019s students and 2 to PhD students. Of the 113 international scholarships, 55 were granted to undergraduate students, 41 to master\u2019s students and 17 to PhD students.<\/p>\n<p>For the 2019-2020 academic year, the program accredited 72 student scholarships \u2013 64 at institutions inside the UAE and 8 internationally. Of the 64 scholarships in the UAE, 41 were given to undergraduate students and 23 to master\u2019s students. Of the international students, 5 are undergraduates and 3 are master\u2019s students.<\/p>\n<p>These achievements were made possible by the Program\u2019s comprehensive strategy to provide the growing labor market in Ras Al Khaimah with qualified Emirati candidates skilled in a multitude of professional disciplines. The Program was keen to provide scholarships to students engaged in various areas of study, including engineering and urban development, medical sciences, business administration, law, environmental science and Information Technology.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the 2018-2019 academic year, the number of graduates from the Sheikh Saqr Program had reached 399. Since its establishment, the Program has contributed to providing excellent academic opportunities to students, in accordance with the highest international standards, which in turn has ensured their integration into professional positions that add value and support Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s development efforts.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key objectives of the Sheikh Saqr Program for Government Excellence is to support the Emirate\u2019s comprehensive development plans and strategies and to contribute to efforts to raise educational excellence by nurturing talented students, preparing future leaders, building institutional capacity and enabling government agencies to implement global standards of excellence.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this ambitious vision, the scholarship program seeks to develop promising Emiratis by providing scholarships for them to complete their studies in specific disciplines at prestigious universities, as well as providing comprehensive support to them during the period of study, in coordination with employers, donors and institutions. This effort will contribute to supporting the various sectors in Ras Al Khaimah with qualified Emiratis at all levels of operation and leadership, while enabling students to achieve their ambitions to build a prosperous future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Program in line with the Vision of H.H.
