Dhahran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (PRWEB) March 10, 2008 -- King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) (http://www.kaust.edu.sa/) today announced awarding the first KAUST Discovery Scholarships (http://www.kaust.edu.sa/students/discovery-scholarships.aspx) to its founding class of students and the opening of the application process for 2008 scholarship applicants (http://www.kaust.edu.sa/students/discovery-apply.aspx).

"We are immensely proud to award our first students with the KAUST Discovery Scholarship," said Interim President Nadhmi Al-Nasr. "The scholarship program represents a critical step in the development of KAUST, whose ultimate success relies on the quality of our students and faculty. KAUST's vision has been validated by the talented, motivated and promising students who will make up the inaugural class of this historic institution. We hope that the 2008 scholarship cycle will yield another group of qualified students who will further diversify and enrich KAUST's student body."

Beginning immediately, the KAUST Discovery Scholarship will provide full tuition (http://www.kaust.edu.sa/students/discovery-benefits.aspx), a living stipend, book and computer allowances, and summer and career enrichment programs to students at their home institutions prior to the University's opening in September 2009. Upon graduation, these students will enter KAUST as master's degree students in September 2009 and 2010 and complete their studies on a fully funded scholarship.

The scholarship program is integral to building the University's intellectual capital. The program works in tandem with KAUST's research collaborations and Global Research Partnership that will support research centers and individual scientists around the globe. KAUST's Academic Excellence Alliance will enable leading research universities to recruit faculty to teach and complete research on the KAUST campus.

When at KAUST, scholarship recipients will be able to focus on any of four main areas of research: resources, energy and environment; biosciences and engineering; materials science and engineering; and applied mathematics and computational science. Students will pursue degrees in six fields of study: chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, biosciences and bioengineering, computational earth science and engineering, and applied mathematics and computer science.

Students may apply for a KAUST Discovery Scholarship directly, or they may be nominated by a professor or administrator at their institution.
