Worthy Student Scholarship Fund
For every $2,000 per year available in the Student Scholarship Fund, we can ensure that at least one student can bridge the financial gap and attend MEU.
A World of Difference!
Many alumni remember the time when students could work their way through MEU. These days, making ends meet calls for financial aid and scholarships, to supplement work.
In a typical academic year—even after financial-aid eligibility is determined—more than 50% of students desiring to attend MEU come up short.
This is where the Worthy Student Scholarship Fund can make a world of difference!
“I get to implement what I learned at MEU into my job, not just academically and professionally, but also the values that we learn and how to stay ethical in everything that we do”
Alissar Al Khoury
Alumni
“My time here has been nothing short of transformative. I can guarantee that it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life”.

A Bridge to Change
For every $2,000 per year we have available in the Student Scholarship Fund, we can make sure that at least one student is able to bridge the financial gap and attend MEU.
While you can donate to the Worthy Student Scholarship Fund at any time of the year, MEU conducts a focused fundraising campaign from June to August, the time of the year when students apply for financial aid. For the school year 2023-2024 our goal is to raise $120,000, making it possible to help 60 students.
Last year the Worthy Student Scholarship Fund made a difference in the lives of 59 students, including Alissar, Patricia and Abraham (read their stories below). This year 68 students need help, including Esterk and Daniel (see their stories below). They need your support to continue their studies.

You can choose to donate on a monthly recurring basis, or on yearly one-time lumpsum. See below examples of monthly and yearly donations, and how much help it represents in percentage of tuition and fees for a student taking 38 credits during the school year 2023-2024.

Transformative Stories
MEU was and will always be my best life experience. Studying here helped me grow spiritually and intellectually.
I did not know what to expect when I started my first day at MEU, but if I am being honest, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
As a student at MEU, I have grown significantly in terms of my values, character, and leadership skills.
I have had the best experience studying and enjoying my days as a student in this university.
MEU has been essential in shaping my future. It fosters excellence, academic growth, and most importantly, spirituality.
In order to provide another young person with a chance similar to the one you have given me, I pledge to give back to the community once I have achieved success.
Named Scholarships and Endowments
A gift to establish an endowment provides an invested pool of money to generate a reliable source of income in perpetuity. MEU invests the principal and uses the interest to support what the donor designates. Endowed scholarships and awards help make possible a Middle East University education for students who cannot afford it on their own. The individuals and families who have established named scholarships and endowments have made the difference for hundreds of young people.
If you would like to establish a scholarship, endowment, or award, please email Dr. Carlos Biaggi or call +961.71.189650 or +1.240.428.4270.
