The Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation scholarships in Oman are among the country’s key educational initiatives. They enable eligible Omani students to pursue higher education at approved institutions within the Sultanate and abroad.
These scholarship programmes contribute to developing qualified national talent with the knowledge and skills required for Oman’s economic and social development. They also support scientific research, innovation, and the development of a knowledge-based society in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040.

Internal scholarships support study at higher education institutions within Oman, while international scholarships provide opportunities at recommended universities abroad. The Ministry also manages postgraduate scholarships and coordinates student support through Omani cultural attachés and offices in scholarship destinations.
