New Fair Distribution System for Student Aid
Reports have been published regarding an update to the Jordanian University Student Support Fund system, aimed at achieving greater fairness in the distribution of grants and loans among districts, especially those with high population density and remote areas. Modifications have been made to the allocation mechanism so that 50% of the grants and loans are fixed for each district, while the remaining portion is distributed based on population density and the number of students not benefiting from support. This approach increases the number of beneficiaries in districts with high density and lowers the minimum points required to qualify for assistance. Additionally, the government has increased the fund's annual budget from 10 million to 20 million Jordanian dinars, relying on additional sources such as auctions of special-numbered plates to enhance funding. The update aims to promote fairness and facilitate greater student access, while maintaining the current conditions and criteria for eligibility for grants.
