Dr. Khalaf highlighted the institute’s ongoing commitment to supporting students by offering exclusive financial incentives this year. “We are pleased to announce that students who complete their applications in person at the BIBF campus will receive a BHD 30 application fee waiver,” she said. “In addition, we have introduced several tuition discounts and scholarships to reward outstanding students and ensure they can benefit from our world-class programmes.”
Eligible students can benefit from a 10% tuition fee waiver for the International Foundation Programme (IFP) if they graduate high school with a cumulative average of 90% or higher, a 37% discount on tuition for those enrolling in the Economics and Management programme, and 10 full scholarships awarded to top achievers in the Data Science and Business Analytics (DSBA) programme, both awarded by the University of London (UoL) with academic direction by the London School of Economics (LSE).
“The BIBF is dedicated to providing a pathway to academic and professional success,” Dr. Khalaf added. “With these waivers and scholarships, we aim to empower students to reach their full potential while obtaining globally recognised qualifications right here in Bahrain.”
