摘要：Many private universities around the world sustain their growth and
retain students through a system of ‘cost-sharing’ where fees and tuition are
channelled back to students in form of financial aid. Not all students are successful
in obtaining financial aid solely based on need, but are also awarded aid based
on their academic performance. This study questions whether a combination of
financial aid types has a positive impact on graduating from a private university
in Lebanon. Furthermore, this study assesses students’ satisfaction with the
university at large by comparing those who received a combination of financial
aid with those who applied and were not granted financial aid. Findings illustrate
that the frequency and amount of financial aid received by students produced
greater graduation percentages. In addition, no difference appeared between
graduates and those who did not complete degree requirement regarding their
satisfaction with university services and programmes.
