Financial Aid
UOWD offers financial aid to undergraduate students in the autumn and spring semesters of every academic year. This financial aid is intended to assist students who have limited financial resources to fund their higher education.
Financial aid is available for new (entry level) students and it covers part of the tuition fees only for each semester for one academic year.
Eligibility and Selection Criteria
- Provide evidence of financial need supported by documents as outlined in the application form
- First time applicants must be enrolling in their first semester of study at UOWD and enrolled in the relevant number of subjects as mentioned below
- Applicants must meet all the academic and admission criteria for direct entry to the University and be intending to enrol in the relevant session for which they have applied.
- Applicants will not be allowed to defer their scholarship more than one semester after which they are awarded the scholarship
- Students must enrol in at least one summer semester or else their financial aid will be cancelled
- Renewal applications must meet the financial aid requirements
Requirements to Retain Financial Aid
Financial aid awarded to students will be reviewed at the end of each semester unless otherwise stated.
