Networking Event for Student Recruitment
Participate in the Middle East Scholarship Forum in Istanbul, October 2024, to engage with key funding providers in the Gulf region and Central Asian countries and enhance your student recruitment network. Connect with leaders of funding organizations representing 24 countries in the region. Explore opportunities to establish valuable partnerships in education and formalize agreements to attract sponsored students to your institution.
Meet the heads of scholarship programs from 21 Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries
The Middle East and Central Asia have a strong history of students studying overseas. The region has large expat communities and many countries in the region have considerable state financing programs for international education. This has always been a strong student mobility driver. With the study abroad numbers increasing more and more students are dependent on funding from non-governmental sources. The Middle East and Central Asian Scholarship Forum aims to bring schools and scholarship providers together.
There is a multitude of funds and scholarships programs. Having the right contacts with funding organizations and government departments is critical but finding the right people within them can often be a challenge. This Scholarship Forum helps you establish a network with the people at funding organizations that are in high demand but extraordinarily difficult to reach.
Make significant connections with key funding providers
The Middle East and Central Asian Scholarship Forum allows participants to conduct 21 high-level, private meetings with organizations that send or fund significant numbers of students for overseas study or training each year. Funding organizations come from UAE, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazachstan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq Kurdistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan to name but a few.
Participants will receive detailed information on all attending scholarship delegates such as:
- Number of scholarships awarded annually;
- Subjects of interest and training requirements;
- Preferred destination countries.
On the basis of these data participants can arrange (in advance) private meetings with the scholarship organizations that best fit their profile and objectives.
