Inclusive Education Support for Economically Disadvantaged International Students

Low or lower middle income countries students support

TSUULL implements targeted schemes to support students from low and lower-middle income countries through a range of financial and social support mechanisms, including tuition fee waivers, scholarships, grants, and subsidised accommodation, meals, and transportation.

This commitment is embedded in TSUULL’s Strategic Development Plan under the priority direction “Education for All: Reducing Poverty through Access, Opportunity, and Empowerment.” The  University Council, Admission Office, University Youth Parliament, Student Union, Board of Trustees and Gender Equity Committee jointly oversee the implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of these support schemes for students from low and lower-middle income countries.
