Ministry deadline: Thursday 29 October 2026 at one o'clock, and the page does not say whether this is morning or afternoon. The ministry sets appointments for handing in the documents. No applications are accepted after that, and incomplete ones are rejected. Apply to the university, then hand in a copy of the application with certified documents at the ministry in Ramallah, or at its Nablus and Hebron offices, according to the set appointments. Students in Gaza email them to [email protected] and state the scholarship name, field and degree. University deadline for bachelor's programmes: by 31 December 2026, with classes starting on 31 January 2027. Admission is once a year. After applying you have an online interview, and those who pass get a provisional offer. You then pay 20% of the first semester tuition, and the university issues the visa letter. The payment is returned if the visa is refused, less transaction costs. The application fee is USD 25. The apply page says it is not applicable for 2027. The documents page carries the same note for 2026, so it looks out of date. Ask the university office before you pay.
