Most Dubai universities cut 10–50% off tuition for good students — but the best awards go to those who apply early, to the right university, with the right documents. We match you to the scholarships you qualify for and help you win them. Free.
You can often stack a couple of these — we work out the best combination for you.
Based on your grades — typically 10–50% off tuition. The single biggest lever, and available at almost every university.
Apply and confirm early and some universities knock a fixed amount or percentage off. Deadlines matter — this is free money for being organised.
Some universities offer bursaries for students who show financial need on top of a merit award. Common at Amity and a few others.
Discounts if a sibling studies at the same university or a parent is an alumnus. Easy to miss if you don't ask.
A handful of universities reward strong athletes or specific talents with fee reductions.
Certain programmes (engineering, STEM) or intakes carry their own scholarships. We check the ones tied to your course.

Merit and early-bird awards are limited and first-come. The earlier your complete application lands, the more is on the table.
The same grades win a bigger award at some universities than others. We aim you where your profile is most valued.
A scholarship offer can lapse if your certificates aren't attested in time. We line the paperwork up in parallel.
Most merit awards need grades, not IELTS. An MOI letter or internal test keeps you eligible — see our no-IELTS guide.
Send us your grades and what you want to study. We'll tell you which Dubai scholarships you qualify for, at which universities, and how much you could save — with the real all-in cost after the award.
