Under the scholarship guidelines, trainees are required to maintain at least 80% attendance throughout the 100-day semester, which runs from September 18, 2025 to January 22, 2026. To be promoted to the next semester, scholars must attain a general average of 80%, with no grade lower than 75% in any subject.
The UAQTEA scholarship also provides significant benefits to support the learning needs of the trainees.
