Bottom Financial Quintile Student Success

BAU follows the educational circumstances of students facing financial hardship, with support mechanisms intended to help disadvantaged students continue their studies and progress toward graduation.

BAU provides scholarships, educational loans and emergency financial assistance to students experiencing financial difficulties, helping reduce the risk of financial hardship interrupting their academic progression.

BAU’s Student Fund provides scholarships, financial assistance, student employment opportunities and interest-free educational loans, supporting students’ financial stability while completing their studies.

BAU’s Donations Fund provides scholarships, loans and direct financial assistance to eligible students, creating an additional institutional mechanism to help students facing economic hardship continue their university education.

BAU addresses non-tuition financial barriers that can affect student continuation. The provided documentation records the exemption of students at Shoubak University College from housing fees, reducing living costs associated with university attendance.

BAU reports an overall graduation rate of 85%, providing an institutional student-success measure alongside its extensive financial-support mechanisms. The same official BAU source reports that more than 60% of students receive scholarships or financial support.

BAU students benefit from Jordan’s national Student Support Fund, including full grants, partial grants and educational loans. Official Ministry records for 2024–2025 specifically identify BAU students and colleges among recipients of these forms of support. Students at BAU/Aqaba University College and Al-Shoubak University College also appear in Ministry arrangements providing monthly financial allocations to eligible students under regional grant programs, helping address living costs associated with studying away from home.

Partial grants and loans under the national Student Support Fund can cover 45 credit hours for bachelor’s students, while partial grants covering 45 credit hours are also provided for intermediate-diploma students. BAU students across multiple colleges are explicitly included among the beneficiaries.

BAU demonstrates strong institution-wide student access and completion outcomes, with more than 60% of students receiving scholarships or financial support and an overall graduation rate of 85%, reflecting the University’s broader capacity to combine financial assistance with successful student progression and completion.
