The global investment totals 104 million dirhams, of which 57 million are brought by the CDG, and 47 million by the Moroccan State in the form of 20 hectares of land for the housing a modern residential campus.[8] In addition the tuition varies between 72,000 and 88,000 dirhams[9] depending on the chosen field of training, plus 18,000 dirhams for housing.

Starting with the 2014–2015 academic year and in partnership with the CDG, the International University of Rabat has launched a fund known as "Tamwil UIR" to support students. Tamwil UIR aims to partially finance the IUR students' tuition. The loan amount is capped with a repayment duration that does not exceed 12 years with a maximum delay equal to the overall duration of studies in the IUR, plus a year. About 600 students at the IUR benefited from the offered payment facilities.[11]
