Questions
Before you apply.
Can I submit more than once?
You may submit once per scholarship period. If a new period opens later, you may create one new application for that period.
Can I edit after submission?
No. You can save and edit your draft while the period is open, but final submission is permanent. Review every section carefully first.
Are private or state universities eligible?
Not at this time. The founding programme is limited to federal universities with qualifying Medicine or Dentistry accreditation. Eligibility may expand in future scholarship cycles.
Can I apply while applications are closed?
You may create and verify your account, but a new application can only be started during an open scholarship period.
