Undergraduate Scholarships for International Students

Outstanding international students enrolled at the United Arab Emirates University to pursue their university studies may be granted one of the three scholarships mentioned below. These scholarships are determined in accordance with the university’s regulations and on a competitive basis, based on the evaluation of their academic qualifications and educational capacities, according to the available seats and instructiona`l capacities in each scholarship. As follows (Note: Scholarships do not cover housing fees).

General Scholarship Guidelines

• To obtain the scholarship, candidates must hold a high school diploma (12th grade) from the United Arab Emirates or an equivalent qualification, provided that no more than one year has passed since obtaining the diploma at the time of application.
• Academic performance will be evaluated against scholarship criteria periodically at the end of each semester. A student who meets the cumulative GPA standard and fulfills the credit hour requirements will be awarded the scholarship starting from the next semester.
• Students receiving a partial scholarship (50% or 75%) may be granted a higher scholarship (75% or full) if their cumulative GPA rises to 3.7 or 3.8 during an academic year, in recognition of their academic excellence, subject to the availability of seats and approval from the scholarship committee and relevant university authorities.

• The university may suspend the scholarship if the cumulative GPA is not maintained for any scholarship during any semester. In this case, the student may submit a request to the scholarship committee for a one-time reinstatement of the scholarship if there is an emergency preventing academic achievement. The university has the authority to accept or reject the request.
• If the scholarship is withdrawn for any reason, the student may submit a new application for consideration for other scholarships based on performance evaluation at the end of each semester, the scholarship committee’s recommendation, and the availability of seats and budget.
• The scholarship does not cover repeated courses, including those repeated with grades (Fail, Withdrawal due to Absence, Excused Withdrawal, Withdrawal, Re-taking to Adjust the Grade).
• The scholarship is forfeited if the student changes their college, requiring them to submit a new request to the scholarship committee for a new scholarship according to the university’s regulations, considering the availability of seats in the other college and budget.
• Students are allowed to study minor specializations if included in the approved curriculum of the college.
• Financial reimbursement for discounts is not permitted.
• Combining one scholarship with another is not allowed.
• The scholarship takes effect from the time it is granted and does not apply retroactively; students cannot claim it for previous academic years.
• The scholarship covers only tuition fees.
• The university reserves the right to add, modify, or change any of the scholarship terms according to the procedures followed in the university and with the approval of the university’s Board of Trustees, ensuring that students are informed of any changes.
• A scholarship contract will be signed with students receiving the scholarship.
• Students who were admitted in previous years and meet the scholarship conditions within a maximum of one academic year since admission have the right to apply for the scholarship according to this decision.
