In general the tuition fees for foreigners are the same as for Lebanese, except
In the framework of a bilateral accord between USJ and another university, the registration fees are completely taken care of if there is reciprocity (if a student of USJ goes to the other university.) If there is no reciprocity the student is reimbursed 50%.
In the framework of a tripartite convention with the AUF (Association of Francophone Universities), the tuition fees are assumed by USJ
Scholarships
The university has established a fund for scholarships for non Lebanese candidates residing in foreign countries. The fund is provided with about 100,000 USD per annum.
The scholarships comprise two parts
- a part processed according to internal procedures covering totally or in part tuition and various administrative fees: lodging in the USJ Residence, assurance, residence permit, handling of files, examination fees;
- a part taken care of by the student in the form of a 300 USD per month forfeit to cover the cost of living for a period depending on the number of months for study with a ceiling of 10 months.
Remark: In the framework of an accord with AUF, the residence and living costs are assured by AUF.
Granting of Scholarships
Candidates for scholarships – excepting those concerned with Faculties and Institutes with entrance exams or admission based on the file – should have started university studies, satisfied the French language requirements and can:
- either select between 30 – 50% of the credits for a program of the 1st cycle
