Saudi Arabia’s Scholarship Program: Generating a “Tipping Point”?

By Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East

Please join the Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East on July 21, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. for a roundtable on “Saudi Arabia’s Scholarship Program: Generating a ‘Tipping Point’?” Westerners most commonly associate the Kingdom with oil, religious conservatism, and a deeply unstable region. Our panelists will challenge such conventional perceptions by examining the seismic economic, social, and governmental changes underway, many of which evidently result in part from the deliberate Saudi government investment in its human capital.
