Experiential Learning Fund

Guided by our University's core principles of Impact, Quality, Relevance, and Access (IQRA), we are committed to promoting the holistic development of our students. The Experiential Learning Fund embodies this commitment by offering partial financial support to students pursuing co-curricular learning opportunities that complement their academic journey.

​Fund Objectives:

This fund is designed to assist students participating in episodic, non-recurring co-curricular, extracurricular, and experiential learning activities, whether organised by the university or external organisations. Eligible opportunities ​include, but are not limited to:

  • Developmental courses enhancing personal and professional skills
  • Leadership development programmes
  • Workshops and hackathons fostering innovation and creativity
  • Conferences broadening perspectives and networking
  • Service-learning initiatives promoting community engagement

Students facing financial constraints who wish to participate in these enriching, non-academic experiences are encouraged to apply for support from the Experiential Learning Fund.​

​​​​Terms and Conditions:

  • Students participating in any programmes or opportunities during the academic year/semester are required to obtain prior approval from their respective faculties and entity/programme coordinators.
  • Students must sign an undertaking confirming they will use the funds only for the intended purpose.
  • The fund is not applicable for activities tied to curricular requirements, such as research conferences or academic symposiums.
  • If funds are used for unauthorised purposes (not aligned with co-curricular or experiential learning as applied for), students may face disciplinary actions as per the Student Code of Conduct. Moreover, University rules regarding non-payment of dues would apply in such cases.
  • Students are expected to contribute to their own growth in these areas.
  • If required, students may need to provide further documentation to AKU Finance or designated offices for evaluation.​
