Fountain University has revealed plans to grant scholarships to 190 deserving students from a variety of academic departments. This initiative marks the university's continued commitment to fostering academic excellence and creating opportunities for students to thrive.
Details of the Scholarship Programme
The scholarship programme has seen impressive growth since its inception. Last year, 50 students received scholarships, with a notable focus on Arabic and Islamic Studies, where 17 students benefited. This year, the scope has expanded significantly, with more than 150 students set to receive awards.
The funding for this year’s scholarships comes from a diverse group of five generous donors, further strengthening the university’s mission to support its students.

This growth underscores the university’s focus on expanding access to quality education and ensuring that students can focus on their studies without financial burdens.
