Hi everyone,

I’m considering applying to KAUST for a Master’s program and I’m trying to understand the fellowship rules around outside work or business ownership.

If admitted and funded through the KAUST Fellowship, would I still be allowed to own equity in a startup/business outside Saudi Arabia? What if the startup is active but not sponsoring my studies? Also, are students allowed to do any remote work, consulting, or part-time work while receiving the fellowship?

Would appreciate insight from current students, alumni, or anyone who has asked KAUST about this before. Thanks.

Have you ever tried partnerships/cross-promotion with another app, creator, newsletter, or company as a way to grow your own app?

If yes, what was the hardest part: finding the right partner, tracking results, revenue split, trust, brand fit, or something else?

I’m researching whether partnerships are actually useful for subscription apps or mostly too much work.
