The University administration has signed several agreements with government agencies, unions and private institutions to grant MA students working in these institutions a grant that covers 30% of the tuition fees

  1. In case a student is awarded more than a grant from the University, only the higher shall be approved with the cancellation of the others, except for the excellence scholarship for children of the university employees enrolled in Dentistry and Doctor of Medicine.

  2. In case a student is awarded a grant from the University and (a) grant(s) from external institutions within the same semester, the total sum of grants shall not exceed the tuition fees of the semester. Otherwise, the University grant shall be reduced or cancelled so that the total sum of grants does not exceed the semester's total tuition fees.

  3. In case a student is awarded an excellence grant and a full grant from an institute, the University informs the institute that the student has an excellence grant and coordinates with it to either approve or cancel the excellence grant, or reduce the institute’s grant.

  4. In case in a semester a student is awarded an external grant that covers the tuition fees and obtains a loan from the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the Ministry’s loan shall be cancelled. In case the grant is partial and the student obtains a loan, it is permissible for him/her to have both the grant and the loan provided that the Ministry of Education and Higher Education gives its approval.

  6. In the event that a student secures an external grant for a specific semester but does not register for courses during that semester, we will coordinate with the donor—provided they are a known institution or individual—regarding the cancellation or retention of the grant for the student. If the grant originates from an unfamiliar institution or individual, it will remain in the student's balance for use in the subsequent semester upon registration.

  7. If a student receives external grants exceeding the value of the tuition fees, we will initiate coordination with the donor, particularly if they are a known institution or individual, to determine whether to reduce or retain the grant for the student. However, in the case of grants originate from unfamiliar entities, the excess amount will remain in the student's balance for registration in the upcoming semester.
