If You Share Your Birthday With Dubai Metro, You Could Win A Scholarship! Here’s All You Need

Dubai’s much-loved Metro is about to hit a significant milestone, 15 years of zipping across the city’s skyline. Since its debut on September 9, 2009, the Dubai Metro has become more than just a mode of transport; it’s a symbol of the city’s futuristic ambitions. Finally, as it gears up to celebrate this milestone, the Metro isn’t just blowing out its candles, it’s also tipping its hat to a unique group of residents: the ‘Metro babies’. If you were born on the same day as the Dubai Metro, it offers scholarships for your higher education.

Metro Babies: The Golden Ticket To Scholarship

For those lucky enough to be born on September 9, 2009, the RTA is offering an incredible opportunity, an academic sponsorship to pursue higher education. But there’s a catch! To be eligible, the student must be a UAE national, have a cumulative GPA of over 90%, and, of course, share a birthday with the Dubai Metro. Also here are the only streams of education you can get sponsored for:

Bsc in
1. Electromechanical Engineering
2. Mechanical Engineering
3. Civil Engineering
4. Data Science
5. Computer Science ( Cybersecurity/ Artificial Intelligence)

This gesture isn’t just a quirky celebration; it’s a nod to the future, recognising the next generation who will grow up alongside the Metro’s evolution. It’s a way of saying, “You’ve grown with us, now let us help you grow even more.”

But the celebrations don’t stop there. If you’re a Metro baby born between 2009 and 2023, there’s another treat in store. On September 21, 2024, you’re invited to a special bash hosted by Legoland Dubai. So, whether you’re turning 15 or just a few years old, this party promises to be a memorable day out for you and your family.
