Sixteen Egyptians will study at top global universities this fall after winning Qalaa Holdings Scholarships that provide them with a full ride to pursue graduate studies abroad provided they agree to return to Egypt after graduation. This year’s class of 16 scholars brings to 184 the number of scholarships awarded since the program began more than a decade ago. This year’s scholars will attend institutions including Harvard, Cambridge and Cornell, where they will study everything from epidemiology to public health, journalism, astrophysics, marketing and petroleum engineering.
