You must provide the bank account number to which the scholarship is to be transferred. If the account number extracted from the USOS system into the application form is correct, you do not take any steps. If the account number is missing or you want to change the account number, you must enter it in My Studies 鈥� Scholarships 鈥� Student Bank Account.

You must complete the average grade field in the application according to the information on the screen. The weighted average grade is calculated in accordance with the Scholarship Regulations (Section 30.3鈥�5).

You hold the professional title of master, master engineer or equivalent.

On Screen 0, you will be asked to enter all fields of study previously completed at other universities in the country. Every field of study at the 91桃色 will be automatically extracted by the system. If you are not able to apply for a scholarship for a field of study to the same degree as you currently study, you will not be redirected by the system to subsequent application forms.
