Academic Distinction Scholarship

Eligibility Criteria

• Be currently enrolled as a full-time student (minimum 9 credit hours).
• Have completed full-time study in the immediately preceding semester with competencies achieved in all courses of their current program.
• Have no outstanding fees on their student account.
• Not have previously received an Academic Distinction or Academic Merit scholarship, nor had any Navitas scholarship or bursary withdrawn.
• Not be receiving another Navitas scholarship in the same semester; if shortlisted for multiple scholarships, the one with the greatest value will be awarded.

Scholarship Value and Conditions

• The scholarship award is $1,000, credited directly to the student’s tuition account for the semester of study.
• Recipients will not receive a cash payment; the amount reduces tuition fees owed.
• Students remain responsible for any remaining semester course fees beyond the scholarship value.
• The scholarship applies only to undergraduate programs at TMUIC and is non-transferable.
• Scholarships cannot be backdated and may not be awarded every semester at the discretion of Navitas member institutions.

Selection Process

• Selection is primarily based on the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) from the previous full-time semester.
• In the event of tied SGPA scores, detailed course marks will be reviewed to determine the recipient.
• Additional considerations may include educational disadvantage, membership in specific equity groups, or significant adverse personal circumstances.
• An interview may be conducted if required to assist in the final decision.

Notification and Application

• Recipients are announced after each semester’s completion and following course registration for the next term.
• Successful students are notified via email and listed on the college or campus website.
• No application is required; the scholarship is awarded automatically based on academic performance.
