Funds Department

Director's Word

As part of the university's efforts to expand its financial resources and explore new sources of income, the Investment Fund was established in 2010 to serve as the main investment arm of the university. Since its inception, the fund has experienced continuous growth by offering a variety of financing programs to university employees and pursuing innovative investment opportunities to enhance annual returns.

Among the most notable achievements of the fund is the establishment of the Al al-Bayt University Water Factory, which is a medium-sized industrial project and the first of its kind among public universities. In June 2022, the Employees Cooperative Fund, the Students Fund, and the Donations Fund were merged with the Investment Fund under a single administrative entity that became known as the Funds Department. This merger aimed to streamline operations and provide better services to both university employees and students, particularly through student employment programs and financial support initiatives.

Today, the Funds Department, under the continuous guidance of the university administration and through the dedicated efforts of its staff, strives to maximize the utilization of investment opportunities within and outside the university to increase revenues. The department also aims to develop the services provided to students by expanding employment programs and donation initiatives, ensuring support for the largest possible number of students and achieving the maximum overall benefit.

About the Department
