How it is calculated
Each tier is shown with its minimum, what it offers and its source. You reach a tier when your percentage is equal to or above its minimum.
Worked example: 91 ≥ 90 → meets the listed minimum for majors with a 90% requirement (1 = eligible to apply).
What is a scholarship (بعثة / منحة)?
A scholarship pays for study at home or abroad. Each programme sets its own minimum marks, eligible fields of study and application dates, published by the body that runs it.
