Educational Opportunities Abroad For Saudi Students

The Saudi government is now subsidizing higher education abroad for their citizens of both sexes.

This just in from Arab News, an English-language daily in the Middle East: "Saudis Offered Scholarships for Aviation Courses in US," says the headline.

"The Ministry of Higher Education and the General Authority of Civil Aviation are offering scholarships to Saudi men and women to study majors related to civil aviation in the United States," according to a bylined article from Jeddah, and application forms are on the ministry's Web site.

"The scholarships are available in majors such as communications, electrical and computer engineering . . . air traffic control, flight safety, and other majors related to the airline transport industry," we're told.
