AU Launches “Zayed Chair” in collaboration with Beit Al Khair Society

A new scholarship chair has been launched at Ajman University in collaboration with Beit Al Khair Society. This new initiative will assist low-income families get better opportunities for quality education at AU.

This caravan of Khair “goodwill” started at Ajman University where the chair was launched recently. Dubbed "Zayed’s Chair", the initiative suggests allocation of a free full-fledged scholarship by each university in the country, to students from eligible families and low-income segments of society.

Derived from the indelible legacy of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan who always supported education, the initiative has been well received by the Ajman University whose management immediately responded by allocating a free chair this year to any student to be nominated by the Society in the collages of Law, Media, Humanitarian Science, Business, Information Technology, Education and Basic Science, as part of "Year of Zayed 2018" initiative.

Taher Al-Awadi, Director-General of the Beit Al Khair Society, lauded the initiative and expressed his thanks and appreciation to Dr. Karim Seghir, Chancellor of Ajman University, affirming that the immediate response reflects the university’s commitment and keenness to continue to support different charitable initiatives.

Ajman University offers various scholarships and discounts for students across the United Arab Emirates, to ensure students have more chances at getting and completing their higher education. These discounts and scholarships can be availed by high-school students, existing students and graduates wishing to pursue their post-graduate studies.
