Murdoch University, Dubai Scholarship Challenge 2013 Winners Revealed

Murdoch University, Dubai Scholarship Challenge 2013

 Murdoch University, Dubai and Gulf News Broadcasting stations Radio One and Josh FM teamed up to give two individuals the opportunity of a lifetime: the gift of education. Murdoch University, Dubai and Radio One launched a full postgraduate Scholarship at this year’s GETEX, whilst Josh FM came on board to give away a full undergraduate scholarship of choice to one lucky student.

Following an inspiring 6 week campaign, ten shortlisted candidates were interviewed at the Murdoch University Academic City campus earlier this week. The lucky winners were Amanda Gordon from ADEC Boys School and Maria D’ Costa, a final year student at Our Own English High School, Al Warqa. Amanda will be joining the MBA class in September 2013 with a vision to open her own school whilst Maria will be using the opportunity to pursue her interest in IT with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.

Competition was tough as the panel battled to choose one winner. This year’s Scholarship Committee consisted of RJ’s Meghna and Zainab from Josh FM and Danny Cee, and Flo from the One Breakfast, Radio One.
