@Hadrami, thanks so much for the info bro. I looked up Umm al Qura and they've got a pretty sweet scholarship; free tuition, free books, free accommodation, free health-care, & free trips home every Summer. This is flipping amazing. I take back that lanat I sent on Saudi two days ago. Just a few questions though. Here is a list of their required documents.
1.) Photo copy of high school diploma & transcript with at least a B overall grade .
2.) Two letters of recommendation from known Islamic Organizations or personalities.
3.) Four recent photos & a copy of your passport.
4.) Copy of birth & health certificates.
5.) Applcant’s age should not exceed 23 years.
6.) Female applicants should have a mahram who is a university student or applicant .
7.) The applicant should obtain permission from his/her government to study in Saudi Arabia.
8.) All documents must be translated to the Arabic or English language and attested by the Saudi Embassy in your country.
I don't have an actual diploma or transcript. I left high school early and got the equivalent diploma by taking a test (high school was a waste of time lol). Will this be sufficient? The marks on my test are above B-average.
Where am I supposed to get 2 letters of recommendation? lol
What is a health certificate? Is it just something my doctor can do?
How do I obtain government permission to study in Saudi? I don't think my government cares where I study ... Should I shoot Obama an email or something?
What does it mean to have the documents attested by the Saudi embassy? Do I have to physically go there in person? (it is on the complete opposite side of the country from me ...)
Sorry for the questions. I'm an idiot.
