Internal scholarships and allowance
How much is the monthly allowance for private-university students in Kuwait?
Quick answer
Most likely KD 200 a month for a single student and KD 350 for a married one: that is the 2012 increase reported by Al-Anba and the amount KILAW states. The 2011 decision on the PUC site says KD 100 (before the increase), and the PUC hasn't published the current figure, so confirm with your university. It is paid to scholarship and self-paying students and stops at graduation.
- The decision published on the PUC website sets no GPA condition.
- It stops on suspension, deferral, withdrawal or dismissal, and when you register with social security or receive other government support.
- Apply at your own university at the start of each term.
