If you have ever answered "Yes!" to anything in your life, I may have the perfect thing for you. If you have ever answered "Yes!" to the questions I just asked, then I definitely have the perfect thing for you: Consider a degree at the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology.

Masdar is a planned city in the near Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The city will be:
  • Emission Free
  • Zero Waste
  • Fulled completely by Renewable Energy
The MASDAR Institute is located at the center of the city. As they build their reputation the University is offering more than free tuition, paying for practically everything you need including your flight there. They are doing this through the The MASDAR Institute Graduate Scholarship (for all nationalities to study at Masdar Institute in Abu Dhabi)

Full scholarship is available to qualified talented students who meet its high admission standards which include appropriate TOEFL score, GRE and an excellent CGPA from a recognized university. A minimum CGPA of 3.0 (on a 4 point scale) or 2:1 in the British system, minimum TOEFL score of 577 (91 on the IBT) or academic IELTS (min 6.5), and a minimum GRE quantitative score of 700 are the basic requirements without which an applicant will most likely not be considered.

Students accepted into the Masdar Institute will be offered a full scholarship which includes the following:
  • 100% tuition fee scholarship
  • Textbooks
  • Laptop
  • Medical Insurance
  • Housing
  • International students will receive reimbursement of travel expenses (economy class air-ticket) into Abu Dhabi and back home after completion of studies. Travel expenses (return economy class air-ticket) back to the student's home country at the end of the 1st year of studies will also be reimbursed.
  • Reimbursement of TOEFL and GRE exam fees (upon registration at Masdar Institute and submission of original receipts)
  • A competitive stipend per month (cost of living allowance).
The scholarship and benefits are subject to the student maintaining a minimum CGPA as determined by Masdar Institute of Science and Technology and satisfactory progress on their research.
