The Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) allocate substantial resources to enhance opportunities for students from low-income backgrounds through a wide range of ongoing programs and initiatives designed to promote educational equity and ensure that students can pursue their academic goals without facing financial or social barriers. These programs are supervised by the Dean of Student Affairs in coordination with the relevant administrative departments. Among the most notable initiatives are the following:
This program is administered by a specialized committee responsible for assessing the students’ social and financial circumstances. Partial or full tuition fee reductions may be granted to students who are determined to be financially disadvantaged, following a review of the submitted documentation.
This initiative is designed to support students facing financial and academic challenges by facilitating installment-based tuition payment options and providing continuous psychological and academic support to minimize the risk of student dropout.
Targeted discounts are offered to financially disadvantaged students residing in university housing, covering both accommodation and daily meals, with the possibility of full exemption in specific social circumstances.
The Academy offers either partial or full scholarships based on an assessment of family income and academic merit to ensure equal opportunities for all students.
The Psychological and Social Counseling Unit, operating under the Deanship of Student Affairs, provides continuous support services aimed at monitoring and assisting students who face financial or psychological difficulties, ensuring their successful progression throughout their academic programs.
