Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key phrase here is « guaranteed package »: this is not a single scholarship, but a mix of awards, TA/RA jobs and tuition awards. The real trap is to read the annual amount as cash paid outright, when part of it offsets fees and depends on eligibility. Student fees remain separate, so you should check your net cost rather than only the headline figure. Submit the transcripts and references first, then secure the English test and the application fee before 15 December 2026.
