DailyMail.com has learned Rotana, from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was an undergraduate at George Mason University from January 2016 until May of this year.
George Mason, a public university with 35,000 students has close ties to Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Arabia Cultural Mission has gifted the college $63 million and has paid for the education of 270 of its 370 Saudi students.
Rather than live on campus like many of her classmates, Rotana traveled back to her home in Falls Church, Virginia where she lived with her mother, brother and Tala.
Rotana attended classes at the Volgenau School of Engineering and sources say she planned to major in bio-engineering when she returned this fall.
But the University told DailyMail.com that Rotana never returned in August to complete her education.
Problems arose for Rotana when she learned her whole family would have to return to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
A source at the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington, DC told DailyMail.com Rotana's sister Tala had won a full scholarship to study at Dar Al-Fikr, a top private school in Jeddah.
Tala had briefly studied in 2017 at Fairfax High School, close to George Mason University.”
