Foreign scholarship students will get spouse allowance (Saudi Arabian students)

JEDDAH: ARAB NEWS
Tuesday 26 March 2013

The Cabinet yesterday passed a law that would allow spouses accompanying King Abdullah Foreign Scholarship students to receive special monthly allowances.

“If a scholarship student is accompanied by his Saudi wife at the place of his study he would be entitled to have an extra payment equal to his basic monthly allowance,” the Cabinet said.

The same extra payment shall be given to a scholarship student who is accompanied by his non-Saudi wife at the place of his study.

A female scholarship student who is accompanied by her non-Saudi husband at the place of her study will be entitled to have the same benefit if the marriage took place according to Saudi regulations.

Students thanked Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah for the gesture. “This will benefit a lot of students currently pursuing their higher studies abroad,” said Rayyan Adel Al-Kattan, an engineering student at King Abdulaziz University.

He stressed the importance of studying at reputable international universities, saying it would help Saudi students enhance their academic qualifications, enable them to obtain good jobs and know different cultures.

Enas Ghulam, who has obtained her degree in biostatistics from a US university, said the decision would help Saudi students to concentrate more on their studies as it would help offset their living expenses.

“It will encourage more students to live with their spouses,” she told Arab News. Many students face problems in paying their house rents in major Western cities. “As a result of this special allowance, they will be more comfortable now to stay with their families abroad,” she added.
