FINANCIAL AID
According to art. 10 and art. 11 of the agreement between the three partner universities in this Master, the International University of Rabat manages the aspects relating to registration fees and financial assistance. Scholarships are awarded to certain students on the basis of merit and economic conditions, to cover all or part of the registration fees.
Candidates must produce evidence of academic excellence and evidence of socio-economic needs. The financial support programs are of two types (candidates are entitled to choose only one type of scholarship):
- Full coverage of university tuition fees: (6,000 EUR)
- Partial coverage of 50% of the registration fee (3,000 EUR)
A study prize of 1,000 EUR is awarded to the student with the highest score.
It should be noted that the decision on the scholarships will be taken by a committee which will assess the scholarship applications independently from the normal registration procedures. Any request for a scholarship requires a procedure specific to the committee. In the event that the scholarship is not awarded, the committee is not held responsible for the candidate’s return to the admitted list or to the same position in case of the candidates who are on the waiting list. The committee cannot also be held responsible for the impossibility of registration and does not have to justify its selection criteria or its non-award of scholarships.
