PAYMENT FLEXIBILITY

Flexible Payment Plans

We understand that managing tuition costs in Lebanon's current economic environment is challenging. AUL offers several payment plan options to spread your fees throughout the academic year, making it easier to plan your finances.

All payment plans must be agreed with the Finance Office at the start of each semester. Late payment fees may apply if instalment deadlines are missed.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hold more than one scholarship at the same time?
Yes, in some cases. Certain scholarships can be combined (e.g. merit + sibling discount), subject to a maximum combined reduction set by the Student Affairs Office. Not all combinations are permitted — contact us to confirm what applies to your situation.
Do scholarships carry over automatically each semester?
No. Scholarships must be renewed each semester. You must maintain the required GPA or eligibility conditions and submit a renewal request to the Student Affairs Office during the registration period.
What happens if my GPA drops below the required threshold?
If your GPA falls below the minimum required for your scholarship, the aid may be suspended or reduced for the following semester. You can reapply once your GPA is restored, subject to committee review.
Can graduate students apply for scholarships?
Some scholarships (such as sibling discounts, staff benefits, and sports awards) are available to graduate students. Merit-based scholarships at the graduate level are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Contact the Student Affairs Office for current offerings.
Are there external funding sources or government aid available?
Yes. In addition to AUL's own scholarships, students may be eligible for support through the Lebanese Ministry of Social Affairs, Lebanese banks' education loan programmes, or international organisations. AUL's Student Affairs team can guide you towards available external resources.
