Britain will spend SR 2 million this year for the Chevening scholarship program for Saudi students, said the British Ambassador, Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles.
A press statement published today said the Ambassador disclosed this while presenting, at his residence, certificates to six Saudi women and four men who have been chosen to do postgraduate studies in Britain. Their subjects include education, engineering, communications, media and health management. One hundred and eleven Saudis have benefited from this program so far.
"You will be a part of a group of 1,800 Chevening scholars from around the world attending universities across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom," he noted.
He pointed out that the recipients will not only study at UK universities, but they will also have the opportunity to teach and exchange information with other students while there.
