How financial assessments work
- Separate from admission
- Different offices, different deadlines. An offer does not confirm any funding.
- Deadlines come earlier
- Funding deadlines often fall before enrollment and before later admission rounds.
- Documents take time
- Issuing, translating and legalising each take time — start before your admission decision.
- Keep everything consistent
- Names, dates and amounts must match across documents to avoid delays.
