Also, students who make a grade point average of 2.750 and above who are selected members of student leadership will benefit from “Student Leadership Award.” The university will pay their tuitions, but not other fees.
Students are also awarded scholarships by the “Student Leadership Award” Four scholarship spaces are given to four students of such campus based organizations with a GPA of 2.750 and above during every semester. In this case, the University takes responsibility for only the students’ tuition.
