University of Ha’il Scholarships

Benefits & funding

• The scholarship is a funded study seat on one of the university’s bachelor’s programs.
• Under the national rules for public universities, a full scholarship brings accommodation, health care for the student and accompanying family, a payment on arrival, annual travel tickets under the regulations, and the same benefits as regular students.
• A partial scholarship carries only part of that package, such as the seat alone or the seat with housing.
• The university’s Housing and Nutrition Administration provides housing for scholarship students.
• The Deanship of Student Affairs also runs welfare activities for scholarship students, such as Eid clothing and a Ramadan Umrah trip.
• Neither the university nor the Ministry publishes a monthly allowance figure.
