Prince Sultan University (PSU) is a newly
established institution of higher education, founded
in 1999. The business community of Riyadh first
developed the idea of founding the university. They
dedicated PSU to HRH Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz to
celebrate his homecoming after his successful
medical treatment aboard. HRH Prince Sultan Abdul
Aziz congratulated the community on this initiative,
and he gave a generous donation to the Riyadh
Philanthropic Society for Sciences to express his
personal support for this important undertaking.
HRH
Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz has been the Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the Riyadh
Philanthropic Society for Sciences since the very
beginning, and in this capacity, he was instrumental
in the establishment of Prince Sultan University, of
which he is an enthusiastic patron.
