Mohammed VI Polytechnic University accounts for an average of 80% of students who been awarded merit scholarships, covering all or part of their living and study expenses.
This mainly concerns the 2,200 students in the conventional programs (Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctorate).
In addition, nearly 2,400 students in non-conventional programs (1337 Schools, Youcode and Mahir Center) are supported 100% by the UM6P and the OCP Foundation.
In order to give an impetus to these actions of inclusion and promotion of knowledge, the UM6P proceeded in 2020 to the creation of “The Ibn Rochd Foundation for Science and Innovation” (FIRSI), whose mission is to accompany young talents from the African continent in their academic career in Morocco and abroad.
FIRSI is recognized as a public utility to reinforce its mission. In addition to financial support, the Foundation’s beneficiaries are accompanied throughout their career and made aware of the professional world through seminars, meetings with inspiring personalities and the discovery of promising professions on the continent.
Today, FIRSI awards scholarships to more than 3,300 students, almost half of whom are women.
These young people continue their studies, in addition to the UM6P, at the Lycée Mohammed VI d’Excellence as well as in the Grandes Ecoles d’Ingénieurs in Morocco and the Grandes Ecoles d’Ingénieurs et de Commerce in France.
Through this strategy, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University aims to become a meritocracy hub that allows young Moroccans and more broadly Africans equitable access to education of excellence.
