Scholarships

Scholarships in ADA are designed to encourage outstanding academic performance and enforce the principles of Global Leadership and Responsible Citizenship. These principles are driven from the Four Pillars which hold the foundations of our mission. At ADA, we strongly believe that today's leaders are men and women who distinguish themselves with their integrity, ethics, outstanding performance and commitment to give back to society.

ADA offers a number of scholarships to qualified incoming and enrolled students. All awards are competitive and based on merit and need. Our scholarships for local students cover tuition but the students are expected to cover their own living and personal expenses. If eligible, international students are offered full fellowship.
