Funding details and coverage can change; always confirm every benefit in the official award terms before relying on them. A course offer and a funding decision are separate outcomes; wait for written confirmation of your award before making financial plans. Do not assume that research scholarship benefits apply to coursework programs with similar names. Registration and amenities fees may remain payable for some awards, such as GEMS.
