US Charge d’Affaires Christopher Henzel hosted a reception at his residence last night for the latest group of scholarship recipients of the Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Programme (CPISP).
The event was attended by the Crown Prince’s Court president Shaikh Khalifa bin Daij Al Khalifa, CPISP officials and students.
Mr Henzel congratulated the 2008 scholarship recipients, who include six students planning to study in the US and four in the UK.
