Scholarship Claim Payments Underway: Students Invited to Register

The Directorate of Scholarships has initiated a crucial payment process for students facing delays in receiving their academic stipends. This announcement, made on Thursday, April 16, 2026, aims to rectify administrative oversights that have prevented some students from accessing their rightful financial support for the months of November, December, January, and February of the 2025-2026 academic year.

The Directorate clarified that the payments are exclusively for students whose names were already included in the official payment manifests but had not yet been disbursed. The reasons cited for these delays are administrative errors, particularly concerning student identification, phone numbers, or expired codes. This initiative demonstrates a commitment to resolving these bureaucratic hurdles and ensuring that students receive the financial assistance they depend on for their studies.

This regularization process, which commenced on April 16, requires beneficiaries to actively engage by undertaking the necessary steps to claim their outstanding payments. The Directorate urges all eligible students to be proactive in this matter to avoid further complications. The timely disbursement of these funds is critical for many students who rely on these scholarships to cover living expenses and academic costs, underscoring the importance of this administrative correction.

While this is a welcome step towards resolving payment issues, it also highlights the ongoing need for robust administrative systems within the scholarship program. Ensuring accurate data and efficient processing from the outset can prevent such delays in the future. For now, the focus remains on ensuring that all students who are owed these stipends receive them promptly and without further administrative burden.
