Who can Apply
The Cave Hill Campus Financial Aid Programme offers Partial Tuition Fee Waivers to ALL continuing registered undergraduate students who are nationals of the Caribbean Community.
Persons must be enrolled at the Cave Hill Campus for the academic year for which they are seeking financial assistance and must be in good academic standing.
The Financial Aid Programme assists students who have already exhausted other options for payment of their tuition fees and can demonstrate financial need.
Value of the Award
The Partial Tuition Fee Waiver
IS NOT a cash award and
CANNOT BE APPLIED to economic costs or registration fees.
The
maximum grant for any one student will be BBD

An eligible student being considered for financial aid, who has received an award from another source that does not fully cover their tuition fees, may only receive financial aid relative to the outstanding balance. Persons who already have full scholarships covering their tuition costs would not be considered.
Duration of the Award
The award is granted for one academic year and is applied each semester. Students who wish to be considered for the award another year may reapply for the award in a subsequent application.
