Riyadh: The King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity, known as 'Mawhiba,' has initiated the 'Preparation for Tamayuz' program aimed at enhancing the readiness of students for admission into prestigious summer programs and leading universities in the United States.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the program specifically targets 218 male and female students who are part of the National Program for Gifted Identification. These students, currently in their first year of secondary school, will undergo a preparatory phase to equip them for the 'Tamayuz' program. This initiative, commencing in the second year of their secondary education, serves as a crucial step in their journey toward securing admission to top-tier global universities.
The 'Preparation for Tamayuz' program is conducted remotely in English, scheduled from April 5 to May 20, 2026. It includes four training days per week over a span of seven weeks, amounting to a total of 56 hours. The sessions are organized into two evening slots, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm or from 7:30 to 9:30 pm, depending on the group assignments.
The program's primary focus is on preparing students for the SAT examination, acquainting them with the academic admission requirements of leading universities, and enhancing their English language proficiency. This training aims to improve their academic readiness and competitiveness for international study opportunities.
Mawhiba's initiative is part of a broader strategy to create an integrated system for nurturing gifted students. It spans from early identification to advanced preparation, enabling students to represent the Kingdom at top global educational institutions. This aligns with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
