Scholarship & Financial Aid

UBIS is a private university with limited funding available. However, being that UBIS feels every student deserves a chance to further his/her education, we have made a policy decision to help as many students as possible, rather than offering a few students’ large amounts towards their studies.

UBIS offers the following forms of financial assistance to its students:

Merit-Based Scholarship Opportunity

Up to 20% off the cost of tuition based on program and modality. This award is exclusive to the cost of tuition and does not cover any other fees to costs related the degree program or UBIS.

Awards are reserved for new students enrolling into a program of study for the first time.

Students are only eligible for a single award. They may not combine awards. A student may not receive a merit-based and an institutional opportunity award simultaneously.
