A celebration was held to honor the outstanding students from Egyptian governorates who have received full scholarships from the German University in Cairo's fourth program. Prof. Dr. Ashraf Mansour, Chairman of the German University in Cairo's Board of Trustees, and Prof. Dr. Yasser Hegazy, President of the university, along with Dr. Manal Awad, Minister of Local Development, and Dr. Ibrahim Saber, Governor of Cairo, will recognize the top high school students from Egypt's governorates. These students, 36 in total, have been awarded full scholarships that will cover their studies across the university’s seven faculties for the 2024-2025 academic year. The faculties are: Engineering and Materials Science, Engineering and Media Technology, Engineering and Information Technology, Law and Legal Studies, Applied Sciences and Arts, Management Technology, and Pharmacy and Biotechnology.
The German university in Cairo established this annual tradition in 2012, offering the “Fourth Program – Top Governorates” scholarship to outstanding students as part of its commitment to equal opportunities for talented students throughout Egypt. This allows them to join the university's programs, which are based on the education and learning principles practiced by Germany, the sponsor of the German University in Cairo. Instruction at the university is in English, with additional German language studies.
The ceremony was attended by deans, faculty members, students' families, and a number of specialized media figures in the education sector.
