The Kingdom of Morocco is offering 10 more scholarships to Fiji nationals to pursue their graduate studies in the Kingdom during the 2012/2013 academic year.
The Public Service Commission’s permanent secretary Mr Parmesh Chand said that the Commission will follow the due process of advertising, short listing and conducting interviews to select the most meritorious candidates.
He said that the PSC is grateful to the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco for providing 10 more scholarships as it will produce skills that will contribute towards meeting the human resource needs of both the private and public sector in our economy. It also enables the commission to build a community of students in Morocco for ease of living, studies and facilitation as this is the second batch of students to be sent to Morocco after the first ever opportunity got realised last year.
The new intake of students will be required to complete one year of French language study at the Faculty of Educational Sciences in Rabat before specialising in the area of discipline that they had initially applied for. French is widely spoken in Morocco.
Programs offered under the scholarship program include Science, Medicine, Engineering, Vocational Training, Arts, and Administration to name a few.
Mr Chand said that the PSC meets partial costs of students who are selected to study in Morocco, covering return airfares and an annual supplementary allowance in addition to the entitlements such as tuition, monthly allowance and accommodation provided by the Moroccan Government.
The names of the successful candidates will be finalised in consultation with the Moroccan International Cooperation Agency based on the academic qualifications of the applicants.
There are eight students from Fiji are studying in Morocco. The offer of Scholarships to Fijian students by the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco is part of the growing bilateral relationship between the two countries.
