About The World Student Scholarship Education Program (WSSEP)

In collaboration with ICEF we are happy to announce the 6th annual World Student Scholarship Education Programme (IWSSEP) February 16 - 17 2023, Dubai, UAE.

IWSSEP brings together two of the industry's leading facilitators, Gulf Conferences Ltd, the creators of the World Student Scholarship Education Programme and ICEF, the global leader in B2B events for the educational sector.

The ICEF World Student Scholarship Education Programme (IWSSEP) will bring together education providers recruiting international students with the heads and key decision makers of global scholarship programmes from across the Middle East, in the public, private and government sectors. With many countries and private organisations investing heavily in scholarships for overseas education, for example Saudi Arabia has pledged to fund over 70,000 overseas scholarships by 2030, this rapidly emerging market segment offers a significant boost to the education industry as it continues its recovery from the global pandemic.

IWSSEP presents a unique opportunity for educators and providers to meet potential partners over the course of two days, all focused on this distinct industry sector.

Taking place over two days, 16 – 17 February 2023, following the 16th edition of ICEF's annual agent networking event, ICEF Dubai (13-15 February). Both events will be at the same venue. Delegates have a rare opportunity to connect with different segments of the international education community, over one week, in the same location.

WSSEP Background

The World Student Scholarship Education Program (WSSEP) is a platform for education providers and suppliers, from different organizations, institutions, and companies to engage in one-to-one meetings with heads of scholarship and key decision makers from public, private and government sectors all over the world. The WSSEP was inspired by the King Abdullah Scholarship Program (KASP) in Saudi Arabia. It is an exclusive opportunity for delegates to create valuable contacts, generate new business, develop partnerships, and discuss future scholarship positions, during the two-day event.

Past Events

The first WSSEP organized by Gulf Conferences Ltd took place on the 16th and 17th of November 2015 in London. It hosted participants from all over the world to discuss the importance of scholarships, particularly in GCC countries.

Held in Abu Dhabi, the second event was under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, head of the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Social Development. Over 250 delegates from 20 different countries attended almost 2000 pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings in two days.
