BMC recognizes that education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. This pillar details the comprehensive framework the college has implemented to ensure that students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds not only gain access to quality higher education but also receive the support necessary to thrive academically and graduate successfully.

Proportion of Students Receiving Financial Aid Due to Poverty

BMC maintains a robust institutional commitment to identifying and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds through comprehensive financial aid programs. The college systematically tracks and analyzes financial aid distribution to ensure resources are effectively targeted to those most in need.

Proportion of BMC’s students receiving financial aid to attend university because of poverty is about 69.1% students.

Additionally, BMC extends its commitment to supporting students from low or lower-middle-income countries. Recognizing the global importance of equitable access to education, BMC offers a variety of schemes designed to assist students from these regions. This includes providing free education, grants, and scholarships specifically tailored for international students facing financial hardship.

To further enhance access, BMC offers various innovative educational financing options for its students. These programs enable students to manage tuition fees flexibly, with payments allowed either during their studies or after graduation. Remarkably, these payment plans come with zero interest, made possible through BMC's strategic collaborations with development finance foundations and banks. This scholarship covers up to 100% of tuition fees and is available to both new and current students across all academic programs, regardless of nationality. Meanwhile, BMC has created the Daaem Program, which eases the financial burden on students by allowing them to pay 50% of their tuition fees during their studies, with the remaining 50% payable in installments after graduation, easing the financial burden on their families. Furthermore, the Tamkeen Program provides targeted support by offering either full or partial financial assistance for the preparatory year, depending on academic performance. The program enables students to defer payment of their tuition fees until after graduation, allowing them to focus on their studies without the immediate pressure of financial constraints.

BMC's financial aid programs also include initiatives like the Ehsan Scholarship, which provides full tuition fee coverage for orphans under the care of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, and the Abna’a Al Shuhada’a Scholarship, which fully supports the education of children of national martyrs. Other financial aid options, such as the Maslak Program and the Educational Loan by Alinma Bank, offer zero-interest financing and flexible payment plans during and after the study period. These programs illustrate BMC’s commitment to making higher education accessible for all.

These initiatives demonstrate BMC's significant commitment to making higher education accessible to students from low-income backgrounds. With about 69% of the student body receiving financial assistance specifically targeted at overcoming economic barriers, BMC exceeds typical benchmarks for financial aid distribution in higher education. The high proportion of financial aid recipients reflects BMC's strategic priority of ensuring that economic circumstances do not determine educational opportunities. The college's comprehensive approach includes needs-based scholarships, grants, and flexible payment options that collectively create an accessible educational environment.
