As part of its continued effort to support quality education in the kingdom, senior members of the Housing Bank's executive team recently held a virtual meeting with a number of beneficiaries of the Elia Nuqul Foundation (ENF), whose undergraduate scholarships were partly funded by the Housing Bank's social responsibility program. The meeting was headed by Housing Bank CEO Ammar Al-Safadi and ENF Chairman Ghassan Nuqul.

A total of four students had benefitted from the joint initiative between Housing Bank and ENF, two of them had already graduated from local universities and two others continue to receive their education. The Housing Bank had renewed its partnership with ENF in 2019 for an additional four years, offering annual grants for exceptional students that cover the entirety of their university tuitions.

Al-Safadi added that such scholarships are part of Housing Bank's strategy to make quality education more accessible to exceptional students and to provide them with the resources necessary to pave their way towards a stable and prosperous future. Such programs also offer students unique opportunities to undergo additional training that focuses on developing personal, practical, and professional skills to facilitate their entry into the job market.
