Bapco Energies launches energy leaders scholarship programme

Bapco Energies has announced the launch of the NBH Future Energy Leaders – Scholarship and Career Development Programme, a national initiative aimed at nurturing Bahraini talent in the energy sector.

Targeting high-achieving high school graduates and bachelor’s degree holders pursuing postgraduate studies, the programme provides a comprehensive development pathway.

Participants will gain access to world-class universities, mentorship, hands-on industry training, and work placements designed to meet evolving sector demands.

The programme operates under a merit-based framework, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, leading universities, and the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Programme.

Reflecting Bapco Energies’ nearly seven-decade legacy in professional training and academic scholarships, applications will open on June 15, 2026, marking a new era in developing Bahrain’s next generation of energy leaders.

Mark Thomas, Group Chief Executive Officer of Bapco Energies, said: “The launch of the NBH Future Energy Leaders Programme marks a proud milestone for Bapco Energies. This initiative represents a direct investment in Bahrain’s future—bridging education and employment while equipping the next generation with the leadership and expertise required to drive the energy transition. We are focused on building a pool of high-performing individuals who will carry forward our legacy and shape the future of energy in Bahrain.”

Shaikh Mohamed bin Essa Al Khalifa, Advisor for Political and Economic Affairs at the Court of the Crown Prince, Board Member, and Head of the Financial and Administrative Committee of the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Programme: “The energy sector represents one of the most critical pillars of Bahrain’s future, and ensuring that scholars are equipped to meet its demands is a responsibility we take seriously. Our collaboration with Bapco Energies is a demonstration of what can be achieved when national institutions align their efforts — channeling the Kingdom’s brightest minds toward fields that will define its long-term prosperity and development.” -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
