STUDENTS applying for various schemes under the Tertiary Scholarships and Loans Service (TSLS) have until February 9 to complete and submit their applications.

In a statement, the TSLS said 8383 scholarship application accounts had been created so far with 4430 applications successfully completed and submitted.

“There are 3953 applications incomplete for processing and decision-making,” the statement read.

“The applicants have been regularly informed via email, phone, live chat, and social media channels. TSLS is urging applicants to take the initiative to complete.”

TSLS also outlined the challenges faced during the application process, including applicants uploading incorrect offer letters and documents, mismatch of the choice of program sponsorship and tertiary education provider offer letter, provision of incorrect personal details, selfstatutory declarations instead of that of parents and guardians.

“Furthermore, TSLS is urging students who have received the scholarship offer to firm up on their decision to accept, reject or change the program of sponsorship.

“Once the scholarship offer and acceptance agreement is confirmed by the applicant, further change may lead to disappointment where quota is allocated.

“Scholarships for certain programs have quotas and will be filled from the highest mark to the last descent for those students who have successfully completed and qualified.”
