Vatel Bahrain has signed an agreement with Bede Bahrain, the innovative microfinance solutions app, to make tuition financing more accessible to existing and prospective students. The collaboration will offer eligible students and their families greater flexibility in managing education costs, helping them pursue and continue their studies at Vatel Bahrain.
The agreement was signed by Sheikh Khaled bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, General Director of Vatel Bahrain, and Mr. A. Nasser Al-Rayes, CEO of Bede Bahrain, in the presence of officials and representatives from both organisations.
As part of the agreement, Vatel Bahrain will join the network of educational institutions participating in Ta’leem, Bede Bahrain’s education financing service. Eligible students and parents will be able to apply through the app and choose repayment arrangements aligned with Vatel Bahrain’s academic calendar. All applications will be subject to Bede Bahrain’s eligibility criteria and applicable terms and conditions.
Sheikh Khaled bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, General Director of Vatel Bahrain, commented: “We believe that broadening access to specialised education requires practical solutions that respond to the needs of students and their families. This underscores the importance of our collaboration with Bede Bahrain in leveraging digital financing solutions to support access to education. The collaboration also aligns with the College’s commitment to addressing any obstacles its students may face and supporting them throughout their educational journey, from enrolment through hands-on training and skills development to preparing them for careers in tourism and hospitality.”
Mr. A. Nasser Al-Rayes, CEO of Bede Bahrain, said: “We are pleased to partner with Vatel Bahrain, a leading institution in developing future talent for the hospitality sector. Through Ta’leem, students and parents can apply for financing through the Bede app using a straightforward process with minimal requirements to cover tuition and other education-related expenses. The service offers flexible repayment plans tailored to each institution’s academic calendar, allowing families to spread payments over a period of up to 12 months. This gives them greater flexibility in managing education costs while supporting students in continuing their academic journey.”
