KIBS Launches FinTech MBA Internal Scholarship Program for Kuwaitis in Cooperation with Gulf University
In light of CBK’s strategy to develop qualified national cadres in the financial and banking sector, and in response to the changes in this field, the Kuwait Institute of Banking Studies (KIBS) announces the launch of FinTech MBA internal scholarship program for Kuwaitis, in cooperation with Kuwaiti banks and Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST)
In a statement, the Governor of the Central Bank of Kuwait and KIBS Chairman, Basel Al-Haroon, said that the program is the first of its kind which aims to build national capacity to support the country’s economic and social development.
The program enables GUST MBA holders to work at any institution in the public or private sector without any commitment to work in the banking sector or the CBK, Al-Haroon added.
The Governor expressed his gratitude to Kuwaiti banks for sponsoring the initiative, the Gulf University for Science and Technology for providing the program at the best academic standards, and KIBS for coordinating and managing the initiative.
Those interested can view the program’s terms and conditions on the "Kafa'a" initiative website. Eligible Kuwaitis holding an undergraduate university degree can apply starting from 28 May until 14 August 2025.
