Furthermore, in order to reach its purpose, they give scholarships to highly qualified students who are eager to take advantage of this fantastic chance.The KAUST global fellowship is based on five guiding principles: water, energy, the environment, food and health, and the digital realm. The worldwide scholarship programme is a merit-based programme centred on these five guiding principles. 

The KAUST Global Fellowship Program (GFP) is broken into two parts. The first is broad and topic-relevant, whereas the second is research-focused and time-relevant.

The second strand focuses on vital research topics that are strategically important to KAUST.The international fellowship's duration is determined by the nature of the study.
