The University determines the socio-economic status of its students from the information available through the social survey, which represents the official database used by the University to determine financial need for the purpose of awarding scholarships. In addition, a number of external donors request such information in awarding financial aid to students. Accordingly, all University students are requested to fill out the social survey form and present all supporting documents to the Finance Office in order to be considered for financial aid. Students who do not fill out the survey waive their right to any internal or external financial aid.
d.Other Financial Aid Schemes
In some cases, external agencies provide financial aid to individual students or groups of students whom they choose. This is, however, coordinated with the University’s general financial aid restrictions and criteria listed above.
Loans

Students must complete an on-line application that is on the MOEHE website. Selection of loan recipients, as well as the amounts granted, is determined at the MOEHE level. The Finance Office reviews the list generated and furnished by the Ministry for accuracy and provides information that is asked for by the MOEHE. Some of the main conditions for the scheme are:
