To establish phase one of Project NHT, educational institutions, an academic R&D center, a technological boarding school, and residential complexes, requires a budget of USD $92.3 million, as detailed in the table below.

The research scholarships are the main incentive that will attract students to the center. The fund will have a return of 4.5%, creating a fixed annual budget of approximately USD $2.5 million to finance at least 40 researcher scholarships (master’s degree, doctorate and post-doctorate) and will ensure sustainability
