UBIS Scholarships & Grants

UBIS is a small, private university with limited funding available. Being that UBIS feels every student deserves an education, UBIS has made a policy decision to help as many students as possible, rather than to offer a few students a large amount towards their studies. Therefore:

• Recipients of UBIS financial aid may not receive more than one scholarship/grant at a time

• Scholarships/grants are limited in size

• Scholarships/grants only apply to tuition

A student who accepts a UBIS scholarship or grant confirms with his/her acceptance that he/she can find the funding necessary to pay all other expenses. Please click here for a Scholarship Application.

In general, financial aid is not automatic, must be applied for and supporting documentation must be presented. Financial aid for need based awards does not automatically cover the entire period of a student's studies. Such recipients are required to reapply before the expiry date.

All financial awards require that a student earn and keep a passing GPA; a minimum of a C (2.0) average for undergraduates and a B (3.0) average for graduates. All students receiving financial aid must enroll for and successfully complete a minimum of 18 credits (6 courses) per year.

UBIS offers two forms of financial aid to its students:

1. Scholarships- financial aid based on academic merit

2. Grants- financial aid based on financial need

Academic merit is evaluated through presentation of a student's transcripts and diplomas. Undergraduate students with a GPA of B (3.0) and Graduate students with a GPA of A- (3.5) can be considered for academic merit based scholarship awards. These awards are granted for the entire length of studies, on the condition that an acceptable GPA is kept over the entire study period.

Financial need is established through country of origin, and actual revenue compared to need for studies. Financial need awards are granted only after a student has exhausted all other possible sources of aid and still falls short of the necessary to pay his/her studies. Students requesting financial need based grants must submit copies of their own or their sponsor's income tax reports for the most current year and/or salary sheets of the same with an evaluation of the student's needs compared to what is available. It is the student's responsibility to present the necessary documentation to show the extent of their need. Financial need based grants require yearly renewal.

The following financial aid awards are available:

Academic Excellence Scholarships: 10% 15% or 20% available based on a student's GPA.

For undergraduates: 10% = B (3.0) GPA

15% = A- (3.7) GPA

For graduates: 10% = A- (3.7) GPA

15% = A (4.0) GPA

Friend Helping Friend Grant: up to 25% available based on a student's real financial need, as established by their supporting documentation.
