The award period is usually two semesters and is based on the regular period of study for the specified programme, assuming finances are available. On request, an extension is available. For further details, see the scholarship approval. The scholarship will cease at the conclusion of the month in which the scholarship holder successfully completes his university studies or is exmatriculated, whichever comes first. If a student changes his or her subject of study or ceases studying, funding ends as well.
