The President of Queens’ College, Dr Mohamed El-Erian, was honoured in 2023 with the Great Arab Minds Award in the Economics category. The President and his family have generously decided to use the award to establish a Postgraduate Bursary at Queens’ College.
The Great Arab Minds Bursary will provide an annual bursary to a student of Arab-origin or citizenship. This is defined for the College’s purposes, normally, as a citizen of one of the members of the Arab League countries or those who have relevant dual citizenship.
The award is available to students undertaking part-time research degrees, such as part-time PhD or research MPhil courses, and some part-time taught MPhil courses. However, it is not available to students undertaking dedicated part-time taught courses, such as those leading to the award of Master of Studies (MSt), Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) or Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip).
The value of the award will be up to £3500 per year. The bursary holder must matriculate at Queens’ College to study for any postgraduate course recognized by the University of Cambridge.
The award this bursary is conditional upon being accepted by the relevant University Department (via PAO).
