Good academic performance implies that throughout your studies at your degree programme, you meet all the following criteria:

- upon completion of each and any interim assessment (before retakes) you have:
- no more than two grades lower than 6 (on a 10-point scale);
- no grades below 4 on a 10-point scale;
- no missed assessments for no valid reason.
* Please note that a foreign national may be granted only one scholarship at a time from those listed in the table. Should a foreign national be eligible for more than one scholarship, he/she may select only one scholarship at his/her own discretion.
This provision doesn’t apply to scholarships granted for early conclusion and payment of tuition fee agreement, in this case, the scholarship is granted for one year only.
