The kingdom of Saudi Arabia is paying great attention to the concept of sustainable development, and regards it as one of the priorities of realizing its future vision, and the Higher Education Fund is a great evidence of that concern as it is one of the most important sources of finance for the development projects at the Saudi Government universities.<\/span><\/p>

In this regard, HEF has set goals and strategies to keep pace with the vision of universities by managing the financial resources of their accounts in a professional, thoughtful manner through economically viable investments, taking into account the provision of continuous cash flows that enable HEF to be a supportive tributary to raising and achieving the highest standards of educational quality, in line with the Kingdom\u2019s Vision 2030.<\/span><\/p>

We pray to God Almighty to grant us all success in serving this generous country.
