“We could not be more thrilled to finalize details of our scholarship fund to support bright minds at AUS,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are also honored that over the past few months, AUS and Bybit have nurtured a shared vision of empowering the next generation of fintech and blockchain pioneers. The trailblazing spirit of the 38 recipients reminds me of my own beginnings. I hope this fund can fuel their journeys of discovery and unleash a wave of innovation from the UAE that will shape the future of digital assets globally.”
Bybit is also contributing an additional AED 100,000 to sponsor the first AUS-Bybit Inter-College Hackathon themed Artificial Intelligence in Crypto for current university students in the UAE ecosystem.
The hackathon will be held at the AUS College of Engineering in November.
