This study aimed at investigating the Ambition Level and its Relation to Excessive Competition among Musically Gifted Students at the Higher Institute of Musical Arts in Kuwait. The researcher used the Descriptive Method. The study sample consisted of (123) students (69 males) and (54 females). The researcher used two instruments to gather information, the scale of ambition level and the scale of excessive competition. The study results showed the following: there are no statistical significance between the mean of musically gifted students in Kuwait on the dimensions of ambition (optimism, acceptance of novelty, tolerance of frustration) by different specialties, except the dimension of the ability to set goals where there were statistical significant differences in favor of students in the piano specialty. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the means of musically gifted students in Kuwait in the total score on the scale of excessive competition depending by different specialties. There was an average, positive and statistically significant correlation between the total score of the ambition level ambition and the total score of the excessive competition among musically gifted students. The level of competition among musically gifted students can be predicted from the dimensions of ambition level.

“…Although the majority of literature has tended to focus on international students at baccalaureate, master's, and doctorate degree-granting institutions, researchers have recently turned their attention to factors pertaining to academic engagement of international students at community colleges. Research findings provide evidence of a link between academic engagement of international students and desired college outcomes such as persistence and academic performance (Mamiseishvili, 2012), retention (Behroozi-Bagherpour, 2010), and intention to pursue higher education (Chen, 2014). Research has found an overall positive influence of student engagement, both academic and social, on college experience, satisfaction, and persistence of international students at community colleges (Sallie, 2008).…”

We are persuaded by a large volume of empirical evidence that confirms that strategizing ways to increase the engagement of various student populations, especially those for whom engagement is known to be problematic, is a worthwhile endeavor. The gains and outcomes are too robust to leave to chance, and social justice is unlikely to ensue if some students come to enjoy the beneficial byproducts of engagement but others do not.
