In celebration of the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's ascension to the throne, GEMS Education has launched a new scholarship in the Queen's honour.
The scholarships will cover the full cost of the year's tuition and will be given to 70 students at 43 GEMS schools.
Sunny Varkey, Founder of GEMS Education said, "As the UAE's oldest and largest school operator, we have been providing a world-class education based on the British curriculum ever since 1984, when we opened GEMS Cambridge International School in Dubai. Today, the lion's share of our schools offer British curriculum pathways and qualifications, and we know how much GEMS parents and students value these. This new scholarship programme is our way of giving back to our community while recognising our strong bonds with the United Kingdom and the remarkable milestone of its much-loved monarch."
