Dubai universities offer a range of scholarships and tuition fee reductions, but availability and criteria are subject to change.

- Academic merit scholarships: Many universities offer 15 - 25% tuition fee waivers per semester for strong academic performance.
- Sports scholarships: Some institutions provide up to 50% fee reductions for outstanding athletes.
- Special awards: Options like the Diwali Community Award (AED 6,000) and full scholarships for top-performing students are available at select universities.
- Early application/academic excellence grants: Discounts up to 40% for early applicants or students with high grades, especially for master's and bachelor's programs.
- Full scholarships: Limited, highly competitive awards cover all tuition for a few students each year.

Scholarship amounts, eligibility, and deadlines vary by university and program. For the most current options and to assess your eligibility, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
