Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Dubai, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Muthamil Sangam, Dubai, to strengthen educational opportunities, academic guidance and student development for students from Muthamil Sangam member families across the UAE.
The partnership reflects MAHE Dubai's continued commitment to community engagement and making quality higher education more accessible. Through this collaboration, both organisations aim to empower young learners with the guidance, resources and opportunities needed to make informed decisions about their academic and professional futures.
As part of the agreement, MAHE Dubai will conduct career guidance and subject selection sessions for students in Grades 10 to 12, helping them explore academic pathways and understand future career opportunities. Students will also have access to selected academic workshops, quizzes and competitions organised by the university, encouraging experiential learning, skill development and exposure to different disciplines.
The collaboration will also extend scholarship and financial aid opportunities on tuition fees across academic programmes for eligible students from Muthamil Sangam member families, subject to MAHE Dubai's admission and eligibility requirements and official referrals through Muthamil Sangam.
Additionally, the MoU includes the annual recognition of outstanding Grade 10 and Grade 12 students from member families, celebrating their academic achievements and encouraging continued excellence.
Established in 1990, Muthamil Sangam has been actively serving the Indian community in the UAE for over 35 years. The organisation plays an important role in preserving Tamil culture and traditions through celebrations such as Pongal, Deepavali and May Day, while also contributing to community welfare through employment assistance, student recognition initiatives, blood donation drives and humanitarian support.
By combining MAHE Dubai's academic expertise and educational resources with Muthamil Sangam's established community network, the partnership aims to create meaningful opportunities for students to explore their interests, develop essential skills and prepare for higher education.
The collaboration reinforces MAHE Dubai's commitment to building stronger connections with communities across the UAE, supporting academic excellence and empowering the next generation of learners to pursue their aspirations.
