ICAEW Emiratisation Scholarship Scheme (IESS)

ICAEW has developed an Emiratisation Scholarship Scheme in the UAE to train Emiratis to become ICAEW Chartered Accountants.

The scheme is open to top Emirati students who have a strong academic record and who are committed to a successful career in finance, accounting and business.

It offers a unique opportunity for young Emiratis to acquire the finance and business skills necessary to make a direct contribution to the future economic prosperity of the UAE.
