Scholarships are being offered in four categories:

• Medical specialization
• Commercial cookery certificate level 3

Khaleel said the scholarship will be awarded to six students this year as well. He detailed that the Foundation always prioritizes fields that most require trained individuals at the moment.

While there are 12 students presently studying under the scholarship, Khaleel detailed that the Foundation closely monitors their progress.

The students will be mandated to work in the Maldives for at least three years after the completion of their studies. Khaleel attributed the requirement to ensure the Maldivian society benefits from locals who are trained for crucial fields.
