Tuition & Financial Aid
The Asian University for Women is committed to educating the most talented young women from the region, regardless of their ability to pay. The information below describes the fees for our academic programs, as well as financial aid details.
ACCESS ACADEMY
The majority of students from the Access will receive financial aid. The cost of education for the Access program is US $10,000 per year, and can be paid in three installments each year. The costs includes:
- Residential facilities (lodging & food)
- Primary Health Care
- Tuition
Guidelines for Financial Aid:
- 75% of the students in the Access Academy will be awarded full financial aid that cover tuition, room and board.
- ONLY students with both parents who do not have any university-level qualification will be considered for full support
- 25% of the places in Access Academy will be for students who can pay the full or partial charges for tuition, room and board.
- Based on acceptable academic achievements, financial aid will be renewed annually until graduation from AUW.
- A student cannot apply for any change in the financial aid status AFTER she has started at AUW unless something drastic has occurred to change her family’s financial situation. We consider this to be an extremely rare occurrence.
- Students accepted to the Access program with financial aid and who are subsequently accepted into the undergraduate program will be supported throughout the course of their studies at AUW (both BA and MA) as long as they maintain acceptable academic performance. Similarly, students with partial financial aid will continue to receive the same amount of aid throughout their course of study at the University
Travel Grants:
Travel grants may be awarded to international students who need them, but will be restricted to a one way ticket to Chittagong and a ticket home after graduation from AUW. Any other travel in between will be at the student’s own expense. Students receiving partial financial aid will pay for their own travel expenses to Bangladesh and back. However, certain cases may be taken into consideration based on information received from the CC.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

The cost of education for the Undergraduate program is US $10,000 per year, and can be paid in three installments each year. The costs include:
