In honor of the late Abdulrahman bin Jassim Kanoo, the Abdulrahman Kanoo Education Group (ARKEDU) established a second scholarship that embodies the founder’s educational commitment. This initiative seeks to empower and support graduates of ARKIS, emphasizing the crucial role of continued education beyond secondary school. The scholarship offers students the invaluable opportunity to pursue their studies at the university of their choice, enabling them to harness their skills and knowledge to benefit society. This year, the scholarship has been awarded to Miss Jumana Adel Al Bastaki, a remarkable student poised to make a difference.
In his own words, Abdulrahman Kanoo once stated, “I have dedicated my efforts, thoughts, and wealth to this school. My dream is to cultivate a conscious, open, and educated generation that will grow into committed citizens, capable of preserving the interests of this country.”
Additionally, we are thrilled to announce that this year’s Abdulrahman Kanoo Award (AKA) has been bestowed upon Ali Abdulhussain Ramadan. This marks a significant milestone as the fourteenth recipient since the award’s inception. This opportunity will enable Ali to pursue his passion for international social and economic development at the esteemed University of Manchester, where he will study Chemical Engineering. Jumana will be delving into the study of Neuro Psychology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, both institutions renowned for their academic rigor and global recognition.
Reflecting on his achievement, Ali shared, “I am truly honored to receive this award, which is the culmination of years of hard work and perseverance. It inspires me to fulfill my family’s dreams. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Abdulrahman Kanoo Award Committee, my family, and my teachers for their unwavering support.”
The impact of this program has been profound, with over 16 young graduates actively contributing to the Bahraini community. The annual award will also be expanded to include the Abdulrahman Kanoo Diyar School, further extending its reach.
To date, more than $1,000,000 has been invested in full university scholarships for deserving graduates. Candidates are selected based on a combination of academic excellence and adherence to the values espoused by Abdulrahman bin Jassim Kanoo. This year, four exceptional candidates reached the final interview stage: Jumana Al Bastaki, Abdulla Al Qallaf, Ali Ramadan, and Sreechaitra Sreekumar.
Mr. Tariq Kanoo, Chairman of the ARKEDU Group, expressed his pride: “I am especially proud of this year’s graduating class and the four candidates who were interviewed for the scholarships. The decision was challenging, but we believe the chosen recipients exemplify the core values of our school and ARKEDU. We look forward to continuing this initiative and also announcing a monetary stipend for the student with the highest IB score when the grades are released in July.”
On behalf of the school, Principal Ms. Kate Moskwa stated, “Ali and Jumana truly embody the values and skills we strive to instill in our students. Our late founder would be proud to see his legacy carried forward through these exceptional individuals. We eagerly anticipate welcoming them back after they have completed their first university degrees and witnessing their impactful contributions to the Kingdom of Bahrain.”
