JEDDAH, 20 September 2004 — The Saudi British Bank (SABB) has invited applications for scholarships for the year 2005 from Saudi candidates wishing to pursue MBA courses in the UK.
The SABB Scholarship Scheme is open to all Saudi male and female graduates between 28 and 35 years with degrees from recognized universities.
Bleihid N. Al-Bleihid, general manager of human resources, said: “The SABB Scholarship Scheme for 2005-2006 underlines the bank’s deep-rooted interest in the long-term development of the Kingdom and its people. SABB was the first Saudi company to introduce such an educational program — in 1997 — enabling Saudis to obtain higher education in the UK.
“The SABB Scholarship Scheme is one of the most prominent schemes to serve the community since SABB provides the tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses, travel allowance and a daily allowance for the selected candidates.”
Those who are interested to apply may obtain all the necessary details and the application from the bank’s website (www.sabb.com) under Human Resources Section, SABB Scholarship Scheme.
