SCHOLARSHIP & BURSARY

Remarks for the following scholarships (EXCEPT DC Foundation)

  1. The Programme may modify the number of recipients or the award amount within the budgeted total when deemed necessary, e.g. when there are more students with identical scores that qualify for a scholarship than the number of scholarships offered.
  2. MFA Programme may not offer all or some of these rewards in case there are no sufficient qualified students or when the Programme runs into unpredictable financial circumstances.
  3. No student should receive more than two awards in the same academic year. Should there be such cases, the new award should be granted to the next best performing student in that category.
  4.  Attaining the minimum grade requirements does not necessarily warrant an award.
