AUBH believes in providing access to different groups of students within society. To achieve this, students are entitled to apply for full and partial scholarships, which are allocated based on students’ merit or academic performance. Apart from that, a number of governmental and private entities trust AUBH and hence choose to support their affiliates by sponsoring their education at AUBH. The University is also looking into expanding its support to athletes by collaborating with youth and sports entities and offering them partial scholarships.
