How to secure a Full Scholarship for international/regional universities coming from a developing background? Need guidance!

am a high school student (currently 16 years old) aiming to study abroad in the future, specifically looking into prestigious universities in places like the Gulf (UAE/Qatar) or other opportunities that offer Full Scholarships (covering tuition and housing).

My family's financial situation is stable, but we cannot afford the high costs of studying or living abroad. I have a strong academic background, and I am trying to build my portfolio (learning AI, web design, and taking certifications), but sometimes the path feels overwhelming and impossible from where I am.
Can anyone who has successfully secured a full scholarship or studied abroad share their roadmap, tips, or specific subreddits/resources I should look into? What are the key things I should focus on during high school?

Looking for Full Scholarships in UAE Universities

Hey everyone, I just graduated from high school and I’m trying to find a university in the UAE that offers a 100% scholarship. My family’s financial situation is really difficult, so paying tuition isn’t possible for us. If anyone knows of any universities or scholarships, or has any advice, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you
