Emirates Global Aluminium assists selected students to achieve their educational goals through our scholarship programme. On completion of their studies, these students then join EGA.

Scholarship programme

EGA has sponsored more than 400 students through education since 2001. 

To be considered for a scholarship, a student must be studying a subject relevant to EGA’s current and future skills needs. These disciplines are principally:

• Mechanical Engineering

The main institutions where we support students are United Arab Emirates University, the American University of Sharjah, the University of Sharjah, Khalifa University and the Higher Colleges of Technology.

Scholarship students can benefit from at least two periods of work experience at EGA during their long vacations, as well as academic guidance from managers in the students’ target departments.

For further information students can contact EGA’s Emiratisation team on scholarships@ega.ae. Any unrelated enquiries will be unattended.
