Educational grants freed up during higher or postgraduate education are awarded on a competitive basis to students studying on a paid basis, according to the relevant groups of educational programs, forms, and durations of study, taking into account the year of admission.

The awarding of educational grants freed up during higher education is carried out during the summer and winter holidays for the available vacant places on a competitive basis.
