Wasl, the asset management group, owned by Dubai Real Estate Corporation, has announced it has instituted 10 scholarships for UAE nationals to pursue graduate studies in various faculties at the American University in Dubai.

Wasl will be covering the entire course fees of the first year, said a senior official. Husam Al Sayed, general manager for Human Resources, wasl, said 'Through this initiative, wasl aims to carry through the vision and commitment of Dubai’s leadership towards its drive to create a knowledge-based economy.'
