The Kingdoms students won 610 awards in Science Olympiads and other international scientific competitions

According to the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity, or Mawhiba, which seeks to identify and support gifted individuals in scientific domains, 2023 has been an exceptional year for Saudi pupils.

Students from the Kingdom placed first in Science Olympiads and other international science contests last year, taking home 610 trophies. 

The collaborations Mawhiba established with respected research institutes and academic institutions enabled its students to generate over 16,000 concepts and secure 15 patents.

Mawhiba follows up with its trainees even after they graduate and offers many talent-nurturing projects from which thousands of talented individuals benefit each year.

After receiving training from Mawhiba, more than 1,000 male and female students were admitted to the 50 most esteemed worldwide institutions with majors that matched the demands of national development objectives. 

Additionally, Mawhiba offered summer enrichment programmes in 18 locations around the Kingdom, enabling 11,000 individuals to advance their abilities, including 387 overseas students.
