“We have great confidence in the potential and capabilities of the graduates within the Rayaat Scholarship Program, and our keenness was focused on giving them the best opportunities to learn and develop skills to start their professional careers efficiently,” she said.
“The graduates of the Foundation proved their worth and excellence, as they entered the labor market with ease in addition to receiving prizes at the local and regional levels. We congratulate them on this success and encourage them to continue their distinguished efforts and make the nation proud.”
The Rayaat Scholarship Program was launched in 2011, following a comprehensive approach to the education and personal development of Bahraini Youth by providing them with scholarships at accredited universities in the Kingdom.
Other benefits include training opportunities in the public and private sectors and developing skills among the students by providing them with necessary workplace ethics.
The program also aims to enhance the concept of social responsibility towards the Kingdom and encourage students to participate in volunteer work to serve the local community.
Under the Foundation’s focus on raising awareness on the importance of volunteer work and the sense of giving back to the community, each student was required to achieve 30 hours of volunteer work throughout the academic year.
The students participated in various activities and initiatives targeting different segments of society, including activities for people of determination and orphans. They also participated in organizing an entertaining meeting for groups of Bahraini society.
AlMabarrah AlKhalifia Foundation, considered as the second family for students, provided them with material and moral support as well as practical training according to their academic specializations, in cooperation with companies and institutions.
