A scholarship is a voluntary financial support that is applied to the regular cost of tuition fees for a specific academic term for students. Scholarships are either paid by the institution, or through donations from other entities, with the purpose of supporting the students’ undergraduate studies given their compliance with certain requirements.
Discounts are voluntary reductions of part of the regular tuition fees in favor of certain undergraduate students. Discounts are granted as a result of the students’ ties with FUBA and the benefits offered by certain external agreements.
