Within the framework of the social responsibility undertaken by the Arab Academy, not only for its male and female students, but also towards the local, regional and Arab community, the Academy always plays a supportive role for the parents of the students who are financially distressed and unable to fulfill their full academic dues.

Specifically, for this purpose, the President of the Academy gave directions for the establishment of the Student Support Department in the Deanery of Student Affairs to receive, study, and decide on such cases through social support and case study committees, so that it is possible for all students to regularly study and register courses, and to fully concentrate on the educational process and academic and scholastic achievement.
