qualifications of UAE nationals and harness their
capabilities, and to this end Abu Dhabi Education Council
offers a Scholarship program and a Study Leave Program

required to meet labor market needs through the graduate
and post-graduate scholarships which are granted based
on certain criteria inline with the policy set by the division.
In addition, all aspects related to the program are managed
by the division; These include program development,
criteria setting, coordination with the scholarship
committee, following up on financial and academic matters
