Students are nominated for programs held in the United States, Britain and Ireland. The “Mawhiba Ambassadors Program” is looking forward to its future plan for geographical expansion in line with the standards of its programs.

The student’s passing of the Mawhiba tests and his/her nomination for one of the Mawhiba Ambassadors programs does not constitute final acceptance, as final acceptance into the programs depends on filling out the registration forms on the program’s website and the extent of the student’s commitment  to providing the required documents within the specified time, in addition to the clarity of the student’s answers and the strength of his/her persuasiveness in the essay questions. The more convincing and influential the answer is, the higher the percentage of his/her acceptance into the program.

Yes, the student must stay in the university dorms until the end of the program.

Yes, the student can nominate himself/herself for the program he/she desires, in which case he/she is not considered a “Mawhiba” student and Mawhiba does not bear any responsibilities or costs towards him/her.

It is not necessary for the student to be nominated and registered in the program that is chosen as his/her first choice, as the nomination of students to the program is based on the students’ scores in the talent scale and English language tests, their desires and academic inclinations, in addition to the availability of seats in the program.

There are no Mawhiba supervisors accompanying students during travel. Students travel alone, and according to Mawhiba policy, the student resides in suitable housing according to the program requirements, whether at the program headquarters or the university housing, and they are supervised by officials from within the program. The guardian can accompany the student during the travel and stay in the same program city, but Mawhiba does not bear any costs incurred for that.

In the event that the parents wish to travel with the student, Mawhiba does not bear the responsibility or costs of the parents’ travel with the student, and the resulting changes (reservations, accommodation, visa, etc.). The student does not have the right to leave the program and be associated with the parents throughout the program period, and Mawhiba disclaims its responsibility for the student outside the program time and after it ends. 

Students are required to reside in the student housing provided by the programme at its implementation location, and supervisors from the same host entity follow up on the students.

A Mawhiba coordinator is appointed to be responsible for the student after nomination for the program, to be with the student step by step in all stages of registration. Students must follow her instructions and not take any step without communicating with the responsible coordinator.

Registration is one of the skills that students acquire through experience, so students register on their own with the program coordinator informed of this without anticipating what the student is directed to do, with the student and the guardian signing the terms of participation in the Mawhiba Ambassadors Program, and providing the program with all registration requirements, in addition to providing Mawhiba with a copy of the registration confirmation. It is necessary not to register on the program website directly without referring to Mawhiba.

Communication skills are one of the most important skills required of candidate students and they indicate the student’s professionalism. Therefore, the student must respond immediately to all Mawhiba correspondence.

Follow the instructions given by Mawhiba and the Program, and submit the required documents within the time specified by both Mawhiba and the Program.

Yes, students are also provided with contact information for each other - each group according to the program they have been accepted into - to get to know each other and exchange information.

It varies from one program to another depending on the duration of the program’s stay and the city in which it is located. This information is usually available on the program’s website, specifically in the FAQ section. The student can inquire directly from the program before traveling.

If the student wishes to leave the airport, he/she must obtain a visa for this country. Therefore, he/she must remain in the airport of the stopping country and be sure to catch the onward flight to the program city, noting that some airports in the world require obtaining a visa for the stopping country.

The student obtains the visa based on the program’s request and according to the type of visa mentioned on the program’s website and the program information file sent to the nominated students, as the type of visa differs according to each program.

The refundable insurance of 1000 riyals will be refunded, provided that all post-program requirements are met, including the certificate of participation, evaluation and final project if any, and any other requirements requested by Mawhiba after the student’s participation in the program ends.

If the student is a candidate for registration and specifying desires in the Mawhiba Ambassadors Program, he/she can contact us via email at misp@mawhiba.org.sa or via the Contact Us service on the Mawhiba website with the necessity of clarifying the inquiry accompanied by the student’s ID number.
