The following are the key initiatives established by the University:

Financial assistance for indigent students: Indigent students who apply are expected to meet the specified criteria of having a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) score of 1.5 and be enrolled in any field of study to be eligible to receive a grant to cover at least a portion of their sessional school charges.

Under this initiative, students who apply can engage in various roles within the University, such as in the Library, Directorate of Physical Facilities, and other Units. In exchange for their services, participating Students will receive stipends to help offset their financial responsibilities.
