Al-Dawood announced two good tidings for the university students. The first is an increase in student bonuses for the Quran and Sunnah by 100% due to the importance of these two competitions and to motivate students to participate in good competitions. He pointed out that the university always seeks to encourage its employees to memorize the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, the constitution of this blessed country, which the leadership of this country is keen on and to sponsor such two competitions led by the Custodian of the Two Haramain King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his Crown Prince His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman - may Allah protect them - and the university is part of this dear country. We hope that the Deanship of Student Affairs will expand in this field and receive the largest possible number of university affiliates, and the other good news is the establishment of a charitable fund for scholarship students, the proceeds of which will be for them, help them and take care of their needs and activities and will have an upcoming announcement with all its details to serve them. Al-Dawood explained that the university embraces students from more than 75 countries around the world, hoping that they will benefit from the activities offered to return to their country for the benefit of their country.

The university witnesses the embrace of students of more than 75 countries and the history of the country, the most prominent heritage, landmarks and popular foods are displayed to benefit the students and the mechanism of participation lies in the submission of a request from the students and the exhibition is studied and then approved.
