About Pacific Prime Dubai’s 2018 scholarship

One of our founding beliefs at Pacific Prime is that education is an essential part in the shaping of tomorrow’s leaders. Unfortunately, education is becoming increasingly expensive, a fact we want to try to offset with this scholarship.

Now in its second year across the company, the Pacific Prime scholarship - available to high school and undergraduate students studying in Dubai - awards a deserving student with USD 1,000 to help offset the cost of education.

How to participate

To be considered for the 2018 scholarship, you will need to submit an essay on the following topic:

The effects of aging population on health care

Your submission should be at least 1,000 words long and contain your own thoughts, ideas, opinions, and even experiences. It would also be a good idea to include references where possible. Creativity and originality are also considered to be valuable components of previous essays.
