Yes, you can take a student loan to cover the remaining fees after receiving a 50% scholarship in the UAE. Banks and financial institutions in the UAE typically offer education loans that can be used for tuition and living expenses.

Eligibility and documentation requirements usually include:
- Residency status: UAE national or resident
- Age: Typically 21 - 65 years
- Income: Minimum monthly salary (often AED 7,000 - 10,000), varies by bank
- Documents: Valid passport, residence visa, recent bank statements, university admission letter, salary details, and a university fee quotation

Requirements may differ between banks and are subject to change. If you need help identifying suitable loan options or understanding the process, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
