Full tuition fee and maintenance scholarships will be available from
September 2007 for students from Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria
taking one year master's programmes at King's College London. The Karim Rida
Said Scholarships have been jointly established by King's College London and
the Karim Rida Said Foundation (KRSF). Scholars must undertake to return
home after their programme or return to work in another of the Foundation's
afore-mentioned target countries to impart and implement what they have
learned.
When selecting the scholars, the trustees will take into account subjects
particularly pertinent to the Middle East, the excellence and promise of the
candidates and their financial need. The KRSF will pay 75 per cent of the
Scholars' tuition fees and a maintenance allowance whilst King’s will cover
25 per cent of tuition.
There are 68 students from the above countries currently enrolled at King's.
This exciting initiative will enable motivated Middle Eastern students, who
otherwise would not have had access to such opportunities, to share best
practice and excel in their chosen field.
The agreement will run initially for a three year period and will be
reviewed annually. Scholarships may be awarded in any field to candidates
under the age of forty. The scholarships will be advertised on King's
website and by the KRSF.
