A historic pioneer in empowering women academically
Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University is the largest women's university in the world. Since its founding, it has been committed to empowering Saudi women and providing them with the highest levels of knowledge. Historically, the university has been a pivotal turning point in the development of higher education for women in Saudi Arabia, evolving from women's colleges into a comprehensive academic institution. The launch of its scholarship programs is a continuation of this rich legacy, as the university continuously strives to align its outcomes with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which places women's empowerment and their active role in comprehensive development at the forefront of its national priorities.
Details and categories of excellence scholarships at Princess Nourah University
The Deanship of Graduate Studies clarified that Princess Nourah University's Excellence Scholarships are designed to meet the needs of outstanding female students according to precise and transparent criteria. These scholarships are divided into two main categories: the "Full Scholarship," which covers tuition fees in full, and the "Partial Scholarship," which helps alleviate the financial burden on students. To be eligible for these scholarships, students must have previously received official notification of acceptance into their desired graduate program through the dedicated online admissions portal. This ensures that support is directed to those truly deserving based on academic merit.
The strategic impact of supporting research and the knowledge economy
The impact of these grants extends beyond individual academic achievement, having a tangible effect at the local and regional levels. By supporting female researchers and creating a conducive environment for them, the university contributes to enriching scientific output and supporting specialized research by women. This approach directly serves the transition towards a "knowledge-based economy," where research and innovation become key drivers of economic growth. Furthermore, developing globally competitive female talent enhances the Kingdom's standing in international education and research indices and presents exemplary models of Arab women in international academic forums.
