Goal 1: No Poverty

MUBS campuses are located in rural and urban regions to ensure that all have an equal chance of completing their higher education. MUBS has maintained its credit price and is the lowest in comparison to other universities yet offering high-quality education. Students are offered flexible payment; scholarship and financial aid forms are available to the public to apply to.

Through numerous collaborations, MUBS offers scholarships to schools, municipalities and NGOs. Those specific scholarships range between 50 to 80%. MUBS collaborates with KIRON, a German NGO which helps Syrian and Palestinian refugees continue their education and offers their students scholarships between 20% to 60%.

MUBS organizes charitable campaigns to donate various essential services and products. These initiatives, led by MUBS staff and students, include food, health services, clothing, medication, and training

We are committed to working with every student throughout their higher education studies to create an educational plan that will help them attain all the goals that they have set for themselves. Aiming to maintain a stability of academic level, the Student Success Office and the Student Success Committee monitor the academic progress of students, especially those from low SES backgrounds to offer mentorship, tutoring, and counseling, if needed. To ensure that students who join the university are indeed capable of completing their studies, MUBS researchers are also making recommendations that ensure best practices are followed to ensure high graduation rates among students from marginalized communities like refugees.

MUBS organizes charitable campaigns to donate various essential services and products. These initiatives, led by MUBS staff and students, include food, health services, clothing, medication, and training. To systemize and oversee more effective dissemination of services and material to the needy, MUBS established the National Wellness Network that works with local partners to investigate the local community’s needs, and respond in the most convenient way to address those needs. MUBS also collaborates with top universities like Stanford University to utilize educational technology tools to address global health challenges. The driving force behind this pioneering collaboration is the understanding that in fragile states and zones of conflict like Lebanon, humanitarian response inevitably requires close collaboration between local and international respondents.
