Majmaah University Scholarships — Bachelor's Scholarship

Majmaah University is a Saudi public university set up by royal decree in 2009, with colleges in Al-Majmaah, Al-Zulfi, Al-Ghat, Rumah and Hotat Sudair. Its Scholarship Department admits non-Saudi students on scholarship, with the stated aims of spreading Arabic and Islamic learning and recruiting strong students from abroad.

There are two routes. The external route is for applicants living outside Saudi Arabia, runs through the Ministry of Education’s Study in Saudi platform, and currently takes men only. The internal route is for non-Saudis already living in the kingdom on a legal residency and is open to men and women.

The external route carries full scholarships. The platform currently lists five, all taught in Arabic at Al-Majmaah: bachelor’s degrees in Arabic Language and Sharia, and two-year diplomas in Accounting and Taxation, Human Resources and Marketing. Resident places are partial scholarships across most non-health bachelor’s and diploma programs.

Benefits & funding

External full scholarship: the platform defines it as the sponsor covering all study costs, with no financial burden on the student.
Full scholarship holders receive housing, medical services, an arrival payment and annual travel tickets under the Ministry of Education’s rules for public-university scholarships.
The university’s Stipends Department lists a monthly stipend for foreign scholarship students of SR 1,000 in scientific programs and SR 850 in social sciences and humanities.
Scholarship students can join the university’s student employment program for paid part-time work, and can apply for emergency financial aid.
Internal scholarship: the university grants full or partial benefits under its rules; the platform currently lists resident places as partial scholarships, and no monthly stipend is paid.
All master’s programs are offered as paid places only, and are not scholarships.
