Are third-party scholarships through consultancies or other parties accepted for Dubai universities?

Yes, most Dubai universities accept third-party scholarships from consultancies or external organizations, as long as the scholarship funds are paid directly to the university.

- If the scholarship is paid to you (not directly to the university), it may not be considered formal sponsorship, and you could be treated as a self-financing student.
- Some scholarships may only cover tuition fees and not living expenses, accommodation, or transport.

Policies can vary by university and scholarship type.
