If I have around twenty to twenty five lakh rupees, and apply for scholarship, will the scholarship reduce the overall cost in UAE/Dubai?

Yes, applying for a scholarship can significantly reduce your overall education costs in the UAE.
Tuition fees for international students in the UAE typically range from AED 35,000 to AED 100,000/year (about ₹8.5 lakh to ₹22.6 lakh), depending on the university and program. Scholarships at some universities can cover a large portion - or even all - of your tuition and may include a monthly stipend.
Living expenses vary by city:
- Dubai: AED 3,000 - 6,000/month (₹70,900 - ₹1.52 lakh)
- Sharjah: AED 2,000 - 3,500/month (₹47,300 - ₹78,750)
Securing a scholarship can make studying in the UAE much more affordable.
