What

Since 2015, we have partnered with London Business School to offer the Muna Al Gurg Scholarship to women in the Middle East seeking higher education. The scholarship aims to increase the number of women in senior leadership positions within companies in the region besides advocating a greater role for women in business.  The Muna Al Gurg Scholars work in the areas of business, technology, climate, and more.  This partnership enables an annual MBA scholarship in London and two EMBA scholarships in Dubai over the next four years to strong women in business candidates.
