Abstract
The study aimed at identifying the challenges faced by Jordanian students on scholarship who are
studying abroad. A descriptive method was used and an e-questionnaire was selected to collect data.
The questionnaire consists of five parts: demographic information, financial challenge items, social
challenge items, academic and management challenge of donors, and lastly, cumulative average
required of continuing study. The sample size of this study was 357 students. Accordingly, the
researcher distributed 357 questionnaires and received 350. Only 346 questionnaires were analyzed
after cleaning data. The study found that financial challenge and social challenge have a significant
impact on cumulative average required. On other hand, it is found that academic and management
challenge of donors does not have a significant impact on cumulative average required. This study
can provide further insights for scholarship bodies, organizations, and education sectors on how to
pay attention to such factors that affect scholarship students. Further studies are recommended to
investigate the effect of these factors on similar contexts with looking at the use of qualitative
research design.
