Huge Scholarship Opportunities Open for Filipino Students

Filipino Students Celebrate: Hundreds of Scholarships Open for Study Abroad The Philippines is buzzing with excitement as two major scholarship programs open their doors to qualified Filipino students. The Saudi Arabian Embassy has announced 265 scholarships under its "Study in Saudi" program. This generous offer covers tuition fees, round-trip airfare, living expenses, and a monthly stipend. "We want to provide a bright future for these students," stated Faisal Ebraheem Alghamdi, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, during a press conference. Meanwhile, the New Zealand Embassy is offering 44 full scholarships through its Manaaki program for the 2025-2026 academic year. These scholarships are awarded based on leadership potential, academic performance, and chosen course of study. Abdul Waheem Batua, a representative from the Saudi Arabian Embassy, emphasized the safety and security of students within the Saudi university campuses. He stated, "You do not feel any concern about your safety." This reassurance, combined with the comprehensive nature of the scholarships, is expected to attract a large number of applicants.
