Meet Husam Al Muntaser, an AGF scholar from Yemen who pursued a MS in Electrical Engineering at the American University of Sharjah

“Al Ghurair Scholarship opened the door to me to continue higher education in one of the top universities in the Arab world. I feel honored to be awarded this scholarship which showed me that hard work will pay off in the long run and to always stay focused.”​

Husam graduated from the American University of Sharjah in 2019. Upon his graduation, he was employed at the Ministry of Education, UAE. Through this experience, he got the chance to help low achieving students upskill their math knowledge.​

Husam is looking forward to be a mathematics teacher at Emirates School Establishment, UAE. Also, he is aspiring to pursuing his PhD in mathematics later on.​

“Giving back to the community provides me with the drive to continuously give a little bit extra and do a little bit more. It allows me to make a difference in the community and pave a mindset to give before you take while influencing others to do the same.”
