At AURAK, we believe that finances should never be a barrier to a student pursuing their academic dreams. AURAK is therefore excited to offer eligible undergraduate students with limited financial resources an opportunity to realize their educational goals.

We understand that investing in your child's education is a significant financial commitment. To ensure that financial constraints do not hinder their academic journey, AURAK has designated funds specifically for students who meet our admission criteria but face financial challenges. Our Need-Based Financial Grants Program aims to alleviate the financial burden and provide a pathway to educational excellence.

Requirements

To be eligible for a Financial Grant, students must meet the following requirements:

1. Official letter of admission: Students must have received an official letter of admission to AURAK.
2. Limited financial resources: Students should demonstrate limited financial resources, indicating a need for financial assistance.
3. GPA and enrollment status: Enrolled students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above and be full-time students (minimum of 12 credits).

A Need-Based Financial Grant can be combined with a scholastic achievement scholarship or a talent/skill-based scholarship if the scholarship recipient can demonstrate that the family is unable to pay the tuition and fees not covered by the scholarship.

At AURAK, we are committed to diversity and inclusivity. Our Financial Grants are awarded regardless of race, color, gender, religion, or national origin. We believe every student deserves an equal opportunity to pursue their dreams and to excel academically.

The amount of the Financial Grant awarded will be determined based on the student's financial need.
