Kafrelsheikh University in Egypt is continuing its efforts to support students and provide a social and health safety net through its General Administration for Youth Care and Social Fund. The fund aims to assist students who are struggling financially and help them cope with the costs of education and living. The university's administration conducts social research to identify students in need and provide them with necessary support.
The General Administration for Youth Care at Kafrelsheikh University offers various social services to students through the Student Union. These services include conducting social research on students in need and providing them with financial and in-kind assistance through the Social Fund. A committee reviews applications and social research to determine the type of support each student requires.
To be eligible for assistance from the Social Fund, students must meet certain conditions. They must be regular students at the college they are enrolled in, be Egyptian nationals, and not have any university disciplinary actions taken against them that would disqualify them from receiving support. Additionally, students must be in their first year of study, unless the Fund's management decides that their circumstances warrant assistance.
Students seeking assistance from the Social Fund must submit several documents. These include a form for disbursing assistance from the Youth Care Administration, as well as a social study from the social unit where the student resides. The documents also include a certificate from the agricultural cooperative association where the student's family is based, stating whether the family owns agricultural land.
In cases where the student's parent is employed in a government institution, a certificate from their employer stating their salary details must be provided. If the parent is self-employed, a copy of their national ID card must be submitted. If the parent has passed away, a copy of the death certificate must be provided.
The university also provides medical services to students through its medical complex. Students can access these services by obtaining a referral from the Student Affairs Department. If the required medical service is not available at the university's medical complex, students are referred to Mubarak Hospital in Tanta.
The medical services provided by the university include dental, surgical, orthopedic, and other specialized clinics, as well as medical tests and a pharmacy for dispensing medication. These services are part of the university's efforts to support students socially and medically and provide a more stable educational environment.
