The National Representation Award will be offered to the top three distinguished students who best represent the UAE and reflect the Emirati identity by respecting the laws and regulations of their educational entity, by participating in community-based activities and environmental volunteer work, and by excelling in their academic and scientific fields.

The Innovative Ideas Award will be granted to students who submit an idea that contributes to realizing the overall objectives of the UAE government, and the strategic objectives of the Ministry of Interior in particular. The proposed idea should be simple, applicable, meet the standards of innovation and excellence, and achieve a positive impact on society.  

All scholarship students studying in any country across the world are eligible to apply for the award, according to the formal and technical requirements for application stipulated by the award regulations’ system. Applicants must be students since more than six months at a specific academic institution. The evaluation committee will receive application files via the e- program or via the Institutional Excellence Department.
