This week, something quietly powerful took place in the heart of Bahrain Bay.

In a district built around investment, capital and long-term economic vision, education walked through the front door—sat at the table—and began a conversation about access, structure and possibility.

Together with Mrs Ameera Alabbasi, Director of Individual Banking at Khaleeji Bank, I had the privilege of signing an MoU that lays the foundation for a new Sharia-compliant educational financing solution for EUB students and their families.

Also present at the signing were Mr Salman Aljanahi, our Chief Operating Officer and a son of EUB’s founder, Dr Ahmed AlJanahi, and Ms Dalal Buasalli, Product Development Specialist at Khaleeji Bank.

Salman’s leadership was central to making this partnership a reality—from first conversations to final agreement. It reflects the same vision his family has championed from the start: one where education isn’t just a destination, but a bridge to opportunity, contribution and long-term national impact.

This is exactly what we mean when we say that Euro University of Bahrain is where education meets markets. It’s more than a tagline. It’s a philosophy we build toward every day.

We offer world-class degrees. But just as importantly, we design the systems that support learning: structured internships from the Foundation Year, a financial support framework that reduces barriers, and—soon—a new path to affordable financing, developed with care and purpose.

We’re grateful to the senior team at Khaleeji Bank for their trust and clarity of vision. They understand what’s at stake, and they bring practical tools to a shared national mission.
