Graduate school scholarships program are given only to students that continue their studies and that achieve good scores at their rating test. If not, a scholarship will not be granted to a student that is no longer a part of the educational institution or that has low scores on his tests. AST test are the final test that can conclude if a student can receive a scholarship or not.

Performances are watched by the scholarship granter and he can determine if he grants the scholarship to the student or not. The same thing can be applied for students that pursuit an artistic scholarship after college. Graduate school scholarships program for students that have already graduated college are applied in a different way.

In this case, fellowships are granted that allow the student to fit in to his chosen working place.
This scholarship can consist out of materials that the student needs for research or for conducting his work as an internship, or it can be money given to the student so that he can continue his study in the same direction. Such a scholarship is not granted to people that are no longer a part of the educational system.
