Watch points

  • Durée et renouvellement

    “The award is tenable for one year in the first instance and is renewable subject to good progress. The maximum period of the Scholarship is 4 years for PhD candidates, as determined by school as well as availability of research funding in each case.”

Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is “by nomination only”: the real bottleneck is not the portal, but the endorsement that carries your file. Since the award starts for one year and is then renewed, you need to arrive with a clear research proposal and two referees who can respond quickly. For an international candidate, the point to absorb early is the GAP, because the aid comes with teaching or lab supervision duties. The right move is to secure the nomination first, then submit a complete and coherent file before the deadline.
