Scholarships are awarded on a yearly basis to encourage academic excellence and reward outstanding performance in academic, extracurricular and research activities. Scholarships are limited and are intended primarily for gifted students who need financial assistance to help cover tuition fees. Qualified applicants need to submit a scholarship application form and will be screened according to criteria set by the University Scholarship Assessment Committee. Both new applicants to BFSU-SolBridge and enrolled students in their second or third year of studies are eligible to apply for scholarships. The majority of scholarships are presented in the form of reduced tuition fees and students are expected to cover their own accommodation fees and living expenses without exception.
