Important Notes

Applicants should understand that the Tamim Scholarship and Sanad Scholarship use different selection criteria.

The Tamim Scholarship primarily rewards academic excellence, while the Sanad Scholarship primarily considers financial need.

International students may receive a broader scholarship package than some local or resident applicants, depending on the applicable scholarship category.

Scholarship recipients should comply with the academic, financial, and administrative conditions established by the Doha Institute throughout their scholarship period.

Applicants should not rely on unofficial websites for exact stipend amounts because the Doha Institute does not clearly publish a fixed monthly stipend amount on the scholarship information currently available.

Applicants should verify all final admission dates, scholarship conditions, and financial benefits directly through the Doha Institute before submitting an application.
