Doha, Qatar: The Qatar Foundation Excellence Award celebrates students who have made meaningful contributions both within and beyond the classroom, leaving a positive impact on their communities. And this year, 16 exceptional members of QF’s graduating Class of 2025 have been recognised with the award.

Following their recognition at QF’s annual Convocation ceremony – celebrating the graduates of QF’s Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) and its seven international partner universities – a Qatar Foundation Excellence Award winners’ luncheon yesterday further celebrated the recipients: young people who exemplify how higher education can inspire creativity, curiosity, leadership, and a deep sense of purpose.

Lujain Al Mansoori, from Qatar and a recent graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q) – a Qatar Foundation (QF) partner university – spoke about what the accolade represents to her, saying, “This Excellence Award validates and reaffirms that all the effort I have put in over the past years has been more than worth it.

Speaking about how she wants to create meaningful change through innovation, she said: “My goal is to use my education and talents to create technologies that empower people and improve their daily lives.
