Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MOEHE), in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC) and the Civil Service and Government Development Bureau (CSGDB), on Wednesday launched the National Scholarship Initiative to sponsor Qatari students pursuing a bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering.

The initiative comes as part of the State's efforts to qualify specialised national cadres that support scientific advancement and radiation security, in line with the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030.

Speakers at a press conference held by the Ministry affirmed that the initiative is based on a successful scholarship model that links academic study with guaranteed employment upon graduation. It offers exceptional benefits, including counting the years of study as part of service, providing a full salary during the scholarship period, and granting students the opportunity to pursue postgraduate studies later, thereby ensuring a stable and distinguished career path for national talents.

MOEHE's Assistant Undersecretary for Higher Education Affairs, Dr. Hareb Mohammed Al Jabri described the launch of this track as a strategic qualitative step toward building highly qualified national cadres in one of the most critical and future-oriented scientific disciplines.

He noted that the initiative aligns with national efforts to harmonize higher education outcomes with labor market needs, enhance scientific research, diversify the economy, and build a knowledge-based economy.
