Scholarship

Scholarships are a significant advantage for students hailing from disadvantaged backgrounds, as they often encounter numerous challenges that hinder their ability to pursue higher education for a variety of reasons. These financial aids not only provide essential funding but also serve as a source of encouragement and support for gifted individuals who may not have the financial means to continue their academic journey. Recognizing the unique needs of these students, the university has taken proactive steps by creating a specialized support unit aimed at assisting them in overcoming barriers to their education.
