Students enrolling in 1-11 credit hours and paying their tuition in full at the beginning of the semester will be charged $660 per credit hour.  Students enrolling in 12 credits or more and paying their tuition in full at the beginning of the semester will be charged $7920 per semester.

For an additional fee, students wishing to make their tuition payments over the course of the semester may use the deferred payment plan by paying 50% of the total amount due by August 13, 2009, 25% of the total tuition amount due by October 1, 2009, and the remaining 25% of the total tuition amount due by November 1, 2009.  Students utilizing the deferred payment will be assessed a deferred payment fee of $150 in the October 1st payment.  A similar schedule is available for the Spring 2010 semester.

Sibling Tuition Discount: For families with more than one daughter/son enrolled simultaneously in MSU Dubai as full-time undergraduates in a degree program, a tuition discount of 10 percent is given to each sibling after the first.  If the first sibling drops below 12 credits or is dismissed from the university, the sibling tuition discount will be discontinued.  Students wishing to utilize the sibling tuition discount should indicate their intentions and the name(s) of their sibling(s) on the Enrollment Deposit Form. Sibling tuition discounts are awarded for the fall and spring semesters only. Students are not eligible for both the sibling discount and another scholarship.

Eligibility for Financial Aid: U.S. Citizens may apply for financial aid by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA, available on the Web at fafsa.ed.gov, is an application process provided free by the U.S. federal government. It is used to determine eligibility not only for U.S. federal grants and loans, but also for some state and university aid programs.  MSU's School Code is 002290. Enter this number on the FAFSA where indicated on the application.
