University Fees and Scholarships

There is a national system of scholarships for payment of further education fees and living allowances.

Access to these scholarships depends on family size, family income, and good results in the previous year of the course.

Generally, students from families with less than the national minimum wage per family member are eligible. The value of the scholarship can be as high as 90% of the national minimum wage plus an allowance for accommodation up to 25% of the national minimum wage.

Further education institutes also provide subsidised meals and some hostel accommodation. The welfare department of the further education institute can provide information about these scholarships.
