Deputy Minister of Higher Education Dr. Badr Al-Busairi praised the support and contributions provided by Kuwait Finance House (KFH) to ensure the success of the "Wajjehni" (Guide Me) National Scholarship Campaign. He emphasized that this contribution represents a qualitative addition to the Ministry’s efforts in preparing and qualifying students before they embark on their academic journeys abroad. It also reflects the complementary roles of state institutions and the private sector in serving Kuwaiti students studying overseas.

This statement was made on the sidelines of the informational session organized by the Ministry of Higher Education in collaboration with Kuwait Finance House for students accepted into the external scholarship plan for the 2026/2027 academic year.

For his part, Yusuf Abdullah Al-Ruwais, Head of Public Relations and Media at the Group in Kuwait Finance House, congratulated the accepted students, wishing them success, excellence, and a return to their homeland to contribute to the national development process.

He expressed KFH’s pride in its ongoing partnership with the Ministry of Higher Education in the "Wajjehni" campaign, which has successfully reached thousands of students and parents, contributed to raising their academic awareness, and enhanced their readiness for university studies abroad.

Al-Ruwais stressed that supporting students, the educational process, and empowering youth constitute one of the main pillars of the bank’s strategy and its social responsibility and sustainability programs. This is driven by the bank’s belief in the importance of education and its pivotal role in building a better future and preparing national cadres capable of leading development and achieving progress in various fields.

He added that the "Wajjehni" campaign represents a successful model of partnership between the public and private sectors in serving Kuwaiti students at various stages of their scholarship journey, starting from awareness and guidance, moving through registration and admission, and culminating in informational sessions that help familiarize them with post-admission procedures and requirements and answer their inquiries. This assistance helps them begin their academic journey smoothly. He noted that supporting students today will reflect positively in the future by strengthening national competencies and driving Kuwait’s development.

For his part, Faisal Al-Saad, First Director of Public Relations and Events at Kuwait Finance House, affirmed that the bank views students and youth as the true wealth of the nation. He emphasized the bank’s commitment to supporting educational initiatives that contribute to developing their capabilities, refining their skills, and preparing them for a promising professional future.
