Scholarships worth applying for.
Every award, every deadline, in one list.

01 The idea
Why we are building this
Scholarship information in Dubai is spread across dozens of university pages, most of them written to be reassuring rather than clear. Half the awards available to students here go under-applied for simply because nobody finds them before the deadline. A single searchable list fixes most of that.
02 The plan
What scholarships & financial aid will include
- Every award, one database Merit, need-based, sport, sibling and country-specific awards across every university in Dubai, with the value stated.
- Eligibility in plain English Grade thresholds, nationality rules, residency conditions and what counts as proof, without the prospectus language.
- Deadlines that reach you A calendar of closing dates, with a reminder before the ones you are eligible for rather than after.
- Payment plans and fee help Instalment schemes, early-payment discounts and hardship funds, which are often the larger saving and never advertised.
03 In use
How it will work
- Step 1 Tell us your situation University, course, grades and nationality, once.
- Step 2 See only what you can win The list filters to awards you are actually eligible for, ranked by value against effort.
- Step 3 Get reminded in time An alert a fortnight before each deadline, with the documents you will need listed.
Where it actually stands
Not built yet, and this one is deliberately slow: a scholarship directory that is out of date is worse than none at all. We are verifying each award against the university before any of it goes live.
Questions students ask
Straight answers about this, whether or not our version of it is finished.
See what already worksYes. Most universities in Dubai run merit scholarships based on high school results, and many also offer sibling discounts, sport and academic excellence awards, and country or region-specific support. Values commonly range from a 10 per cent tuition reduction to a full fee waiver for the strongest applicants.
They are announced separately by each institution, which is why so many students miss them. The directory being built here collects them into one searchable list with deadlines attached.
Often, yes. Continuing-student awards based on GPA, hardship funds and revised payment plans exist at most Dubai universities but are rarely promoted to students already enrolled. These will be listed alongside entry scholarships, because for a second or third-year student they are usually the only route available.
It is one of the highest priorities after launch, and it is being verified award by award rather than scraped. Register and you will be told the moment it is searchable.

Getting in, paying for it, and passing.
Most of DubaiStudentLife is still being built, and we would rather say so than pad the site with empty pages. Register and you get told once, when the part you came for is actually there.
