Edtech Leap Scholar to invest $20m in Middle East roll-out

Leap Scholar, South Asia’s largest study abroad platform, has announced its expansion into the Middle East region.

The company will invest $20 million into the Middle East over the next year to establish a team to serve the end-to-end study abroad needs of students. 

Leap Scholar’s offerings will now be available to students from countries including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Israel, and Jordan. 

To catalyze their programs in the Middle East, the San Francisco-headquartered company has also appointed Zuhaib Khan as the vice president for international expansion. 

Leap Scholar co-founder Vaibhav Singh said: “This is a major step in our journey as we move ahead full steam in 2022 to take the Leap Scholar platform global and help millions of students achieve their international education and career dreams.

“We are starting with the Middle East, and we plan to subsequently expand to South East Asia, South Asia, and North Africa.”
