Academic Excellence Award
Academic excellence awards provide a 50% waiver on registration and tuition fees for one academic year in official degree programs. If academic excellence is maintained, the award extends to subsequent years until the student completes their current program.
For the Medicine degree, one of the Academic Excellence Awards will cover 95% of tuition in the first year and 75% in the following years for the student with the best admission results (admission test + academic record).
