Muscat: His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik’s recent noble gesture to support Omani students enrolled in private higher education institutions underscores the Sultan's dedication to advancing education and assisting students in pursuing their academic goals.
By the beginning of the upcoming academic year (2024-2025), eligible students will receive monthly grants ranging from RO 45 to 90. These grants, designed to alleviate financial burdens on families, are part of a comprehensive programme tailored to enhance educational opportunities for deserving students.
The criteria for eligibility take into account family income levels and the proximity of the family's residence to the educational institution.
This careful consideration ensures that support is provided where it is most needed, fostering equitable access to higher education.
This initiative reflects the Omani government's commitment to nurturing a knowledgeable and empowered younger generation, essential for the nation's continued development and progress. Moreover, it is part of a broader strategy to enhance the country's financial landscape and promote social cohesion.
By investing in education and supporting students, Oman reaffirms its dedication to creating a stable and prosperous environment conducive to educational and economic growth.
