Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is “renewable”: most candidates focus on the entry amount, but the continuation condition decides whether the aid lasts. You also need to separate automatic awards from those that require an application, because the transfer scholarship follows a different logic from need-based awards. The right move is to secure the deposit and PAL first if they apply to you, then prepare now the documents needed for need-based aid and for keeping your average up.
