Implementation period: From the date of announcement until July 4, 2026.
5.2 Implementation Plan
To ensure broad access and participation, scholarship slots will be allocated among Cohorts 49, 50, 51, and students from other academic programs. Based on the total number of scholarships available for Dubai Palace students (243 slots), the allocation is as follows:
- Cohort 49: 60 slots
- Cohort 50: 60 slots
- Cohort 51: 60 slots
- Other programs: 63 slots
Based on the allocation above, the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) will organize registration by target groups. Scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until all available slots are filled.
The program will be implemented in multiple stages of learning. At the end of each stage (approximately one month), DSA will review participation records, remove inactive learning accounts, reallocate recovered scholarship slots, and announce subsequent registration rounds.
