Hadhramout University and the Kuwaiti humanitarian organization Direct Aid signed a cooperation agreement this morning to provide university scholarships for 119 male and female students enrolled across the University’s various faculties.

The agreement was signed on behalf of the University by Prof. Mohamed Khanbash, President of Hadhramout University, and on behalf of Direct Aid by Eng. Adli Basayf, Director of the organization’s Hadhramout Office. The signing ceremony was attended by Prof. Salem Mubarak Al-Awbathani, Vice President for Student Affairs.

Under the agreement, the beneficiary students will receive financial assistance in the form of an annual living allowance, disbursed as a single payment to each student. The support is intended to help students continue their academic studies and reduce the financial challenges that may hinder their university education.

This initiative forms part of Direct Aid’s ongoing efforts to support the education sector, expand access to higher education, and enable young people to pursue university studies. The program aims to strengthen students’ opportunities to build their future careers and contribute positively to their communities.

The agreement reflects the continued commitment of Hadhramout University and its development partners to promoting educational opportunities, supporting student success, and investing in the development of human capital as a cornerstone of sustainable development.
