Eligibility for the Student Relief Scholarship

The Student Relief Scholarship is a university loan scholarship for students whose studies have become difficult because of a sudden change in their primary household supporter’s financial circumstances.

Who may qualify and how the scholarship works

The Student Relief Scholarship is available to students whose primary household supporter’s financial circumstances have suddenly changed, making tuition payments difficult and putting continuation of their studies at risk. It is a university loan scholarship intended to give students an opportunity to continue studying. A student who receives the loan is called a relief scholarship student. The supplied regulations describe the scholarship as interest-free and state that it may be provided once during a student’s period of enrollment.
