Ministry’s
spokesman Muhannad Al-Khatib said that repayment of a loan begins two years
after a university degree is obtained, and continues for five years.
He added that
graduates may contact the Ministry of Higher Education, and if the monthly
instalment is not commensurate with their income, it can be reduced.
According to
Khatib, the application for grants and loans offered by the
Higher Education Ministry through the Student Support Fund is fully computerized, and to apply,
students should visit the website of the Scholarships Directorate.
He added that
applicants cannot choose the type of scholarships, since that process is
computerized, and that once the student’s academic data is checked, the
ministry announces what funds the applicant can compete for.
According to Khatib,
33,000 students are expected to be nominated for grants and loans this year,
based on “available financial data”; to date, 80,000 students have applied.
