Eligibility

What you need for Al-Rowad.

Saudi nationality, good conduct and character.
A direct, unconditional offer of admission from one of the program's top-30 approved institutions.
The acceptance letter must be issued by the university's official admissions office.
Exception: for non-English-speaking destination countries, a conditional offer for a language-preparation year is accepted.
All fields of study are supported on this track — the widest field coverage of the four pathways.

Some general conditions (such as an age limit for bachelor's applicants) name an exception for this track — always confirm the current rule on the official conditions page linked below.

Academic & English requirements

The official Al-Rowad path page does not publish a fixed, universal IELTS or GPA threshold. Because admission must be direct and unconditional, your English and academic requirements are effectively set by the admitting top-30 institution itself as part of its own offer.

Heading to Australia? The scholarship does not fund an English preparation year for English-speaking destinations — you'll need to meet your Australian university's English requirement independently before your offer is unconditional.
