Scholarships and Stipends

The University scholarships and stipends are governed by the following rules and conditions:

  • University scholarships are available for qualified and eligible UAE National and international students.
  • A list of available scholarships and stipends (for UAE National Students), eligibility criteria, and benefits for each category of student are reviewed and updated annually. Students on a university scholarship must abide by the stipulations and contracts signed between the student and the University.
  • University scholarships and stipends are provided only for full-time students. If the credit load of a student on a university scholarship drops below the minimum full-time credit load (12 credit hours) in a semester, the scholarship and any stipend will be adjusted as follows:
    • The stipend, if any, will be suspended for the remainder of the semester unless the student is in the final semester of study and requires less than 12 credit hours to graduate, or if the reduced enrollment is determined to be the result of a serious compelling circumstance beyond the student’s control.
    • Expatriate and international students will be liable for full payment of the tuition fees for that semester. The expatriate/international student may be allowed to drop below the minimum full-time credit load without tuition penalty if the University determines that the reduced enrollment is the result of a serious compelling circumstance beyond the student’s control.
  • The University reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of its Scholarship and Stipend Programs at any time.
  • The University reserves the right to revoke a student’s scholarship.
  • Students receiving a university scholarship must inform the University of any external scholarships received.
  • A student receiving a university stipend is discouraged from seeking additional employment while enrolled in courses at the University. Should the student wish to supplement their stipend with university work-study, permission from the relevant Dean must be obtained.
  • No stipend will be offered to Emirati and International students who is joining Khalifa University starting from Fall 2023.       
  • In case of violation of the scholarship terms and conditions, a student receiving a university scholarship or stipend may be required to refund part or all of tuition fees.
