The Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation for Education (AGFE), one of the largest privately funded philanthropic initiatives in Education, supports Arab students in pursuit of their Bachelor or Master’s degree in a STEM-related field at top universities in the region and abroad.


AGFE is committed to reaching over 15,000 promising Arab youth from across the Arab World over the next ten years. The Foundation is focused on creating new and exciting opportunities to activate their untapped potential, allowing them to rewrite their future.

The Al Ghurair STEM Scholars Program targets high-achieving students who are in need of financial support to embark on their education journey. It offers scholarships towards tuition and other university expenses, support towards housing, health insurance, and a monthly allowance to cover other living expenses.
