The AASTMT provides equitable access to its programs for underrepresented groups through a multifaceted approach. This includes a comprehensive outreach program targeting women and low-income students via school visits and community events, a dedicated admissions process that evaluates applicants based on socioeconomic factors and personal circumstances, financial aid and scholarships specifically for these groups based on merit and need, and a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion. Additionally, AASTMT actively measures and tracks the applications and admissions of various underrepresented demographics, including ethnic minorities, non-traditional students, women, LGBT individuals, disabled students, and refugees.
A range of financial aid options and scholarships specifically tailored for underrepresented groups, awarded based on merit, financial need, and identity. The academy conducted several agreements with charity organizations for the benefit of underrepresented groups, especially students facing financial problems.

The establishment of the South Valley Campus in Aswan, which provides educational services at tuition fees that are 50% lower than those at other branches of the Academy, underscores AASTMT's dedication to fostering diversity and inclusion. By making education more accessible to students from low-income communities, this initiative aims to ensure equal educational opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status. This commitment not only cultivates an inclusive atmosphere but also empowers people and enriches communities through education. Furthermore, these efforts contribute to addressing educational inequalities and promoting a more diverse academic environment.
