Over the last decade, Qatar has undertaken significant reformation and modernization in an effort to build an educational system that puts quality educations at its core. As Qatar’s official development agency, Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) places education at the forefront of its priorities as it is one of the most important sectors that serves a vital role in a community’s and a nation’s sustainable development, resilience, and peace building.

His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of Qatar affirmed that “Economic development cannot be achieved in the long run without human development”. In this context, QFFD continues to take great strides in education as it is an essential aspect of human development by providing an avenue for individuals from developing countries to effectively achieve social and economic stability.

Through the developmental aid projects that we contribute to, we witness firsthand how education is critical to ensuring social equity, supporting economic sustainability, combatting climate change, and promoting peace and security for all. Therefore, we are proud to have established the Qatar Scholarships program to provide access to quality education to learners and future leaders around the world. The initiative strives to reduce disparity and inequity in education by creating lifelong learning opportunities at leading universities. Qatar Scholarships offers its learners a chance to be a part of a rich cultural environment, network with experts, and gain skills through a range of programs and vocational training. The programs equip learners with the necessary tools to become economically sustainable and be part of resilient solutions to the interconnected global challenges that the nations and communities are facing.

We encourage you to take this opportunity to align with our values, share our mission and become an active promoter of peaceful, inclusive, just, and sustainable societies.
