In this case, the amount of financing is issued in installments. As a rule, the grant cannot be postponed or transferred, it is allocated for a certain period of study. The exception is grant programs with a one-year preparation for admission, as well as the opportunity to study at free language courses. In such a case, the grant becomes effective after the training program. It must be taken into account that if during the year you have not used the grant, the foundation holds a competition to search for other candidates, in which you can also take part, but on a general basis. Results of competitions and refusals Usually, only 2-3 weeks or even a month after the end of the competition, the staff of the scholarship programs make a decision about the past participants. Candidates usually receive notification of the results by e-mail, sometimes additionally in a formal letter by mail.

Another applicant with a similar purpose is recognized by the commission as a more deserving candidate for a scholarship or grant; Incorrectly executed application or incomplete package of required documents; The theme and goals of the candidate do not correspond to the goal of the project; The applicant requested too little / too much funding (this may work against the applicant and raise doubts about the need for funding and project implementation); The number of allocated grants is limited.
