Successful scholars receive tuition, boarding, learning materials, and weekend activities, with university placement support depending on performance. Key dates include the second wave application deadline (March 22, 2026) with online tests, written exams, and scheduled oral exams, and onboarding after acceptance. Some top scholars may receive additional university scholarship support based on performance. The programme also supports university preparation, including guidance, counselling, and exam preparation. Medical coverage is provided for the duration of studies, and partial coverage or instalment plans are not offered for TLF. Some top scholars may access extra TLF funding for future university costs.
