Muscat: The Modern College of Business and Science (MCBS) is proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation with Al Manahil Foundation, reaffirming both institutions’ shared commitment to promoting equal opportunity and expanding access to quality education across Oman. This partnership is designed to foster collaboration in various areas, including academic and community development initiatives. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education, the agreement will see MCBS offering partial scholarships to students supported by Al Manahil Foundation, empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue higher education.

Moreover, it goes beyond financial aid by focusing on fostering comprehensive involvement in a range of initiatives aimed at academic and personal growth. In addition to providing scholarships, it emphasizes the importance of active participation in academic excellence programs that encourage high standards of learning and achievement. Furthermore, the partnership seeks to create opportunities for research collaborations, allowing students to engage in meaningful, impactful research that addresses real-world challenges. Outside the classroom, the collaboration also encourages students to become active contributors to community development, reinforcing the importance of service and social responsibility. Together, these efforts ensure that students not only receive financial support but also gain access to a well-rounded educational experience that prepares them for success both academically and in their communities.

“This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to foster inclusive education,” said Dr. Moosa Al Kindi, Dean of MCBS. “With Al Manahil Foundation, we aim to eliminate barriers to learning and provide deserving students with the opportunities they deserve and need to succeed and contribute to society.”

The collaboration is also an essential part of MCBS’s broader strategy to create a transformative learning environment, where students from all backgrounds can achieve their full potential. Through this partnership, MCBS and Al Manahil Foundation are building a bridge for educational growth, cultural exchange, and innovation across Oman and beyond.
