Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is « supplement »: the 50% top-up is an additional layer, not the core of the funding. The real screening happens through the fit between your background and the research project, so the letter should show what you bring to the lab, not just your grades. Because the application is sent by email, the subject line and the clarity of the file matter as much as the documents themselves. The right move is to send a short, clean application with « MSc GES 5 » in the subject line and a motivation statement that connects your bachelor's degree to the project.
