It is often a God-sent opportunity that can prove beneficial in advancing and providing a boost to the student's educational career. *** n Amina Nooriya Gold medalist at Indira Gandhi Open University Jeddah Ascholarship is an award of financial aid for a student to further education. It does not have to be repaid. A student may receive the scholarship because of academic merits, financial need, artistic or athletic talents, or for other criteria set forth by scholarship donors. By providing scholarships for poor, talented students who stand out in the field of education, we are carrying out one of the most important social responsibilities. In this way, scholarship leads to moulding a new generation which will become an asset for the development of a nation and in turn, the world as a whole. “Knowledge is the lost property of a believer.” Hence, grab it wherever you find it. Educating a needy child is a good deed and will be recorded as a continuing charity. *** n Farah Fakhri Grade 11 student Al Wadi International School, Jeddah Only education can increase literacy among teenagers, eventually providing them with a wider range of communication. By exchanging ideas and obtaining education, they can definitely communicate well with others. Teenagers must not be allowed to move towards the path of destruction. Once a child is well-educated, the chance of getting a scholarship in the best educational institutions increases. This leads to good career opportunities and a successful future. *** n Maniza Khan Grade 10 student Al Falah International School (Delhi Public School), Jeddah. The colleges and universities of today carry a heavy price tag. It is of great importance not to let that discourage you from obtaining a college education. While the cost of tuition continues to rise, so too does the number of available financial aid options. In such situations, scholarships serve as more than just financial aid to students. They are like a reward to brilliant students. Scholarships are also meant to encourage students to pursue research and to promote cultural interaction.
