In a powerful move to make higher education more accessible, global business leader Arif Patel has launched an international scholarship and mentorship program through the Arif Patel Foundation. The initiative aims to support underprivileged students worldwide, starting with the UAE and the UK, and gradually expanding to other regions over the next three years.
At a recent press conference in Dubai, Patel emphasized the importance of education as a tool for transformation. “Knowledge drives every innovation in the world. By supporting students today, we’re investing in stronger communities and a brighter future,” he said.
The Arif Patel Global Scholarship Program goes beyond just financial aid. It offers access to professional mentorship, career guidance, and resources for personal growth. The goal is not only to help students afford higher education but also to equip them with the tools to succeed in their chosen fields.
This philanthropic step is deeply personal for Patel, who has seen firsthand how education opens doors. From pursuing engineering at the University of Central Lancashire to earning a master’s in Petroleum Engineering at Heriot Watt University, his own academic journey has been instrumental in shaping his global business career.

With this global scholarship launch, Arif Patel reinforces his vision of empowering youth and enabling progress through education.
