Dear TUMS academics/young researchers, Scholarships and grants are types of gift aid that do not have to be repaid. Universities, research centers, and organizations which offer these aids usually takes into account both financial need and academic merit of the applicants. There may be other requirements and criteria that an applicant should be aware of when applying for a grant or scholarship. |
These financial aids are mainly classified as:
