A yearly Charity Gala is organized by the UDAA in the month of Ramadan. Proceeds from this event are donated exclusively to the Alumni Association & Friends of the University of Dubai Scholarship Fund and all financial records are transparent, reviewed and held by the university until disbursement to scholarship recipients. The event is open to the entire UD community, including alumni, faculty, staff, administration and current students. Local businesses, philanthropies and individuals who support the Scholarship Fund will also be invited to attend.
Under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed Maktoum Juma Al Maktoum, the University of Dubai Alumni Association (UDAA) in collaboration with Beit Al Khair Society, organizes the Charity Gala Suhoor on annual basis during the Holy Month of Ramadan. The event’s objective is to raise funds for meritorious students who are facing financial challenges as part of the “Alumni and Friends of the University of Dubai Scholarship Fund” program.
