Meet Abdulrazzak Tamim, an AGF scholar from Syria who pursued a MS in Agricultural Economics at McGill University.

“Being selected to receive Al Ghurair Scholarship from many high-achieving young Arabs reminds me that I have the potential to overcome hardships and excel at my studies and work. Al Ghurair Scholarship symbolizes one of my connections to my Arab roots and is a life-changing experience.”​

Abdulrazzak graduated from McGill University in 2020 and then worked as a Consultant at the World Bank. In 2022, he started his PhD in Economics at University of California, Berkeley. ​

The projects he is working on aim to enhance the welfare of refugees in the Middle East and boost African farms’ productivity. ​

Abdulrazzak is aiming to reduce poverty in developing countries through conducting rigorous research and influencing public policies.​
