ICEF Middle East Scholarship Summit 24

Connecting educators around the world with scholarship providers from the Middle East

On 18 – 19 February, 2024, the 2nd ICEF Middle East Scholarship Summit takes place in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, and provides a unique opportunity for international educators to network with the largest gathering of scholarship providers sending students abroad from the Middle East.

Taking place immediately after the 17th edition of ICEF Dubai, this event is crucial for educators hoping to make further inroads into this expanding, yet complex regional education sector.  Meeting with the heads and key decision makers of 100+ global scholarship organisations from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE will enable international education institutions to attract high numbers of well-funded students from a rapidly growing market segment, where forming personal connections and engaging with the local culture is essential.

Motivated by ambitious national Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), these organisations control in excess of US$20 billion in scholarship funds and are embarking on an unprecedented drive to provide funding for internships, pathway/vocational programmes, life-long learning opportunities, professional training programmes, language studies, and university scholarships for hundreds of thousands of students studying abroad each year.
