Amman – In line with its commitment to advancing technical education and empowering Jordanian youth in high-demand technology sectors, Al Hussein Technical University (HTU), an initiative of the Crown Prince Foundation, announced today in a press conference the launch of "Scholarships for the Future" as part of the early registration period for the 2025/2026 academic year. The initiative aims to provide 300 full and partial scholarships to outstanding students from various governorates across Jordan, categorized under different eligibility criteria, according to HTU President Dr. Ismael Al-Hinti.

Prof. Al-Hinti emphasized that technical education is a cornerstone for building a strong, innovation-driven economy, adding that HTU, under the guidance and support of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, is dedicated to providing Jordanian youth with the opportunity to excel in technical fields, preparing them for the job market, and keeping pace with technological advancements. He further highlighted that these scholarships are not merely financial aid but an investment in the minds and talents that will shape the future.

The scholarships are structured as follows:

• 40 "Hope Scholarships" for students from underprivileged families.
• 50 scholarships for public school students.
• 5 scholarships for students excelling in academics and sports.
• 2 scholarships for students with disabilities.
• 48 scholarships for students from Jordanian governorates**, including a monthly stipend for students from the southern region, funded by the Student Support Fund and various donors.

To attract talented students and promote these scholarships, HTU will conduct a nationwide tour across different governorates. Dr. Hunaiti reiterated that technical education is the future and a right for all, stressing that opportunities should be available to every student passionate about technology and future sciences, regardless of their academic performance or socioeconomic background.

For the first time, HTU is introducing an early registration period for high school students applying for the 2025/2026 academic year. This initiative aims to give students ample time to plan their academic journey and make well-informed decisions about their future.

"We understand that choosing a university major is a pivotal decision in every student's life. That’s why we launched the early registration campaign—to allow students and their families to carefully consider their options before the academic year ends. Our goal is to ease the pressure students face when selecting their academic path, giving them time to explore different specializations, understand each field’s requirements, and ensure alignment with their interests and career aspirations. Early registration also grants students access to HTU’s academic advising and career counseling services, helping them make informed decisions that set them up for a stable and successful future," D. Al-Hinti added.
