Horizon Scholarship
A scholarship for Saudi students ready to pair AI fluency with the human skills no algorithm replaces—the exact combination a fast-changing Kingdom will need most.
WHY THIS, WHY NOW
Saudi Arabia’s national development agenda is built around developing its people, from strengthening the education base to preparing citizens for a labor market being reshaped by automation, AI, and new industries. The Horizon Scholarship exists to help talented Saudis meet that moment on their own terms.
Leaders who can build culture, community, and institutions that give a growing, youthful population room to thrive.
Operators and strategists ready to diversify industries, scale private enterprise, and compete on a global stage.
Decision-makers with the governance, digital, and execution skills to turn national ambition into delivered results.
WHY HULT
The scholarship is ours. The credentials are proven.
We’re not asking Saudi students to take our word for it. Hult's standing in global business education is independently verified, and its footprint already reaches this region.
Triple Accredited
AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS—held together by only a small fraction of business schools worldwide.
Top 100, Global MBA Ranking, Financial Times
Ranked among the Financial Times’ Top 100 Global MBA programs, alongside placements from Fortune and CEO Magazine.
AI Fluency, By Format

A Campus in the Region
Hult Dubai sits alongside campuses in Boston and London, with global rotation options.
Decades of Practice
A non-profit business school built on learning by doing since 1964, with challenges briefed by Microsoft, EY, Unilever, and Hilton.

THE HORIZON COMPASS
Hult builds AI fluency into every MBA—but the degree is deliberately built around five human capabilities AI can’t do for you: Curiosity, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Communication. These are also, not by accident, the exact capabilities Vision 2030 needs from the people leading its next decade.
)
Learn By Doing
Hult's curriculum is deliberately practical—case work, simulations, and live challenges instead of lecture-and-exam.
Mapped to the Mission
Each of the 5Cs lines up with what Vision 2030 needs in practice: curiosity to build new industries, collaboration to strengthen institutions, communication to carry Saudi ideas onto the world stage.

Hult International Business School created the Horizon Scholarship on its own initiative, in support of the ambitions Saudi Arabia has set out under Vision 2030 for national talent development. Hult is not affiliated with, funded by, or endorsed by the Saudi government, Vision 2030, or the Human Capability Development Program—this is our school’s own investment in the students building that future.
