Education Ministry boosts student fund to 40M dinars
The Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development in Jordan has increased the university student support fund allocations to 40 million Jordanian dinars, a boost of 10 million dinars in line with royal directives. This raises the projected number of beneficiaries to approximately 63,000 male and female students. This support is funded from revenues generated from the sale of special vehicle registration numbers and aims to enhance student financing and expand access to grants and loans. As a result, the percentage of students receiving support has increased from 78% to 84% for the 2025-2026 academic year. Additionally, a new system for distributing grants and loans has been approved to take effect starting from the 2026-2027 academic year. This system ensures an equal basic share for each district, with the remaining portion allocated based on demand size and population density, with the goal of improving support distribution and strengthening higher education support across Jordan.
