Complete fellowship details
The current Chancellor’s Fellowship framework contains six award categories on one official page. Newly admitted and existing merit recipients can receive a 50% tuition discount subject to the stated GPA and funding conditions. UAEU staff and families can receive 20% to 30% tuition discounts depending on status, qualifying UAE national students can receive a 20% tuition discount, and qualifying entrepreneurs or inventors can receive a 50% tuition discount or an equivalent monthly stipend when tuition is already waived. Awards remain subject to eligibility, budget availability and continuation requirements.
Eligibility requirements
Eligibility varies by category. Merit routes require a GPA of at least 3.8/4.0; the UAEU staff/family route requires at least 3.5; the UAE national route requires at least 3.6; entrepreneur and inventor routes require at least 3.3 plus the applicable startup or granted-patent evidence. Applicants must meet the continuing GPA condition and have no other financial sponsorship or award.
Tips for this fellowship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified against UAEU’s current Chancellor’s Fellowship and graduate-funding pages on 29 Aug 2026. UAEU states applications are submitted after registration during the first two weeks of classes; no exact closing clock time is stated, so deadline and deadline_date remain null. Fall 2026 classes began 24 Aug 2026, confirming the route is presently within that semester window.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
