Subject: Announcement of the IDB M.Sc Scholarship Programme

for A.Y. 1432 H/(2011-2012).

Excellency,
AjISjjj ill ikjj fi& fSLJI
I am pleased to take this opportunity to report the result of the selection
process of the M.Sc. Scholarship Programme for IDB Least Developed
Member Countries (LDMCs) for the current academic year 1431
H/(2010/2011) and to announce the contest for the new academic year,

1432 H/2011-2012.

For the current academic year (1431 H/2010-2011), fifty (50) students have
been selected. The list of selection is attached for Your Excellency's kind

information.

For the new academic year, 1432 H/2011-2012, the annual quota for the
programme is maintained at 50.

Enclosed are the application form, announcement poster and the brochure
of the Programme. Your Excellency may kindly distribute the
announcement package to various educational and research institutions in
Your Excellency's esteemed country. It has been the experience of some
member countries that announcing the Programme in local papers and
magazines enhances the possibility of reaching more needy and qualified
candidates. It is my hope that Your Excellency's Government will consider
and act on this approach if possible.
