Canadian University of Dubai Scholarships, 2016
A primary objective of scholarships at Canadian University Dubai is to promote the retention of high academic achievers. We understand that not everyone is excellent or outstanding at everything and recognize the importance of differences and variety. We do not want financial limitations or special needs to get in the way of a great education.
The Canadian University Dubai offers the following scholarships: Outstanding Academic Excellence, Financial Hardship, Special Needs and Outstanding Sports Achievement.
Please note that the number of scholarships awarded is limited and you must meet the minimum selection criteria for the relevant category in order for your application to be considered by the scholarship committee. The amount to be awarded depends on the financial need and/or academic qualifications of the applicant.
