Tuition & Financing

A Merit-Based Scholarship is awarded to a student for excellent study results, fulfilling conditions set forth by the President and published in the Scholarship Policy.

Every term, AAU will disburse on the Merit Based Scholarship 5.0% of tuition revenues to be collected from degree seeking students in the given term (MBS fund). The MBS applies to AAU tuition. It does not apply to AAU fees and University of London tuition and fees.

AAU Degree Programs

The Merit Based Scholarship (MBS) can only be awarded to degree seeking students in AAU degree programs who completed at least 5 courses for credit during their previous active semester at AAU and have no “Incomplete.” Out of the 5 courses at least 4 had to be taken in the previous obligatory term (i.e. Spring or Fall term). The MBS will be awarded at the beginning of every active term, using the actual cumulative GPA.

LLB and Certificate programmes

MBS can only be awarded to LLB and Certificate students who completed 4 year-long courses (or equivalent combination of semester and year-long courses) for credit during their previous active academic year at AAU. The MBS will be awarded for the whole academic year at its beginning and applies to all courses taken in the given academic year.

Conditions for Merit Based Scholarships

If the last rank allowing for MBS eligibility is tied, all students in the tied rank are awarded scholarship even if the disbursed amount exceeds the MBS fund – 50% off tuition
