Being of a non-profit nature, AUB Mediterraneo is also offering a broad range of scholarships and grants to its students, covering up to 80% of their annual tuition fees.

Students are accepted based on their grades in years 11 and 12, while they are also required to hold an International AS-Level exam, second-grade Lyceum exams or a Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).
