Scholarships for UAE Student
UAE government provides various opportunities to UAE national students in order to pursue higher education in international universities especially Canadian universities. Such grants promote and encourage leadership potential and academic achievements in the students. The idea was put forward by H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid in 1999. His steps to encourage student exchange programs with international universities showed government’s realisation of educations as the driving force behind the public agenda of UAE. Such partnerships promotes mutual harmony and exchange of cultural ideologies and identities.
Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, established by 1992 Federal Law No. (4), provides international scholarships to UAE students every year. The vision behind this set up is to achieve leadership in global competitiveness in scientific research by overseeing higher education and scientific research policies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The scholarships are provided not only for pursuing undergraduate but also graduate programs. The award covers travel arrangements, academic supplies allowance, monthly stipend, travel ticket, tuition fees, health insurance, hostel accommodation costs, and freight costs. Candidates must be UAE passport holders, obtain required scores in language tests (IELTS Academic: 6.0, TOEFEL iBT: 80, TOEFL PBT: 550, TOEFL CBT: 213), and pass the personal interview.
How to Get Scholarships in Canada
Step 1: Understand the Requirements
Students should have a thorough knowledge of educational institutes and the courses offered in Canada in order to successfully apply for admission. Students should also understand the requirements of the all these institutes. Candidates should do a careful analysis of the rules and regulations applicable to the application process.
General requirements for most of the Canadian universities include a valid passport, proof of proficiency in either English or French, and proof of expenses to cover living costs.
Step 2: Choose Course and Institution
Only Designated Learning Institutes (DLIs) can admit foreign students. So, students must confirm if a specific university can accommodate international students. Students also need to finalize a course in order to apply for admission. The Canadian academic system is quite flexible. It allows the students to switch courses.
Step 3: Take the Language Proficiency Test
Every international student has to prove proficiency in English or French in order to secure admission in Canadian universities. For English, IELTS is the preferred test, while some institutions also accept the TOEFL exam score. For French, students may opt for DALF, DELF, or TCF, even though the TEF exam is the most common option.
Step 4: Apply to Universities
Students may shortlist the preferred universities and acquire their application packs. Applying to various universities is definitely advantageous but students should also consider the application fee, which varies from $100 to $250.
Students should not apply at random. They should carefully compare their options and identify preferred courses and institution. Students may select one or two alternatives as backups.
Step 5: Apply for a Study Visa
After an institution is ready to provide admission, students should apply for the Canadian Study Permit. The visa application must be accompanied by the university acceptance letter, passport, and documentary proof of finances.
Step 6: Apply for Scholarships
Many universities in Canada provide awards and grants to promote and encourage leadership potential and academic achievements. Universities in Canada also provide scholarships in collaboration with governments of other countries. Such partnerships promotes mutual harmony and exchange of cultural ideologies and identities.
Students need to find out the relevant scholarships in the courses of the universities they are interested in. Then, they need to check through the eligibility criteria, and figure out if they are eligible. After that they need to fill out the scholarship application and write a motivation essay. Student also need to get in touch with professors at the departments they are interested to get admission in, and discuss the research proposals with them.
