The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has opened the registration for Emirati high school graduates who are seeking scholarships in the fields of medicine and science, as part of the Health and Science scholarship programme.
Amna Al Suwaidi, director of human resources at the DHA, said that in addition to the scholarship and covering of student's expenses, the authority will be providing the students with monetary incentives throughout their studying years to encourage them to excel in their studies.
Al Suwaidi said candidates wishing to apply for the scholarships must be Emiratis, in good health, have good conduct and if they are male they have to have completed their military service or have proved that it has been postponed or they have been exempted.
She added that students seeking a scholarship must have high scores, no less than 90 per cent for those wishing to study medicine, 80 per cent for nursing, 80 per cent for physiotherapy, 80 per cent for pharmacy and 85 per cent for those wishing to major in supporting medical fields such as X-ray, labs and anaesthesia.
She added that the student could not apply for the scholarship after two years or more of them graduating high school. The authority added that applicants must complete an intervew and should not have been accepted another scholarship from another party.
"Once accepted, the authority will cover his/her tuition fees, provide a monthly allowance, cover book costs and laptop cost. The authority will also provide the students with health insurance," Al Suwaidi said.
Students wishing to apply can do so by visiting the DHA website.
