1-Conditions for the Renewal of Scholarships:
The renewal is granted to students who have not gone over the regulatory period of support and who can justify regular pedagogical and scientific progress.
Scholarship renewals can only be granted to students with a maximum of (04) year of study allowance. (04 years for tuition fees / 48 months for stipends)
2-Scholarship Renewal Procedures:
The renewal will be decided by the MHE and the Committee of Scientific Experts of the National Commission of the Training and the Improvement Abroad.
Students are not required to attend the renewal process.
The Algerian Embassy in London does not have the authority to decide on the renewal of scholarships. However, the Embassy gives its pedagogical feedback on the student’s study progress and behaviour (reasoned observations), with the official Embassy stamp.
Sponsored students must send the documents via email at students@algerianembassy.org.uk for the first evaluation by the students’ department at the Embassy.
The Student will have to submit the documents endorsed by the Embassy on the platform set up by the MESRS.

4. Scholarship Extension/Readjustment:
Scholarship extensions are not granted by the MHE. Scholarship holders are required to take all necessary steps to complete their training within the duration of the initially scheduled support.
The procedures for applying for a scholarship readjustment are identical to the renewal procedures. Please only indicate that it is a readjustment on the official application and the follow-up form sent.
According to the Ministry of Higher Education, if you have been funded for 48 months of scholarships and/or 4 years of University tuition fees, you are not eligible for renewal procedures.
Although, students who would like to apply for readjustment of their scholarships, are invited to follow the same procedure of renewal.
5. Suspension:
Repeating a year is not permitted. Any failure will result in automatic suspension of the scholarship, which will be reinstated only after the student has passed to the next year.
Students in PhD level are required to complete their studies in that level. However, achieving MPhil level without passing to the upcoming PhD level is not accepted by the MHE. This will result to the suspension of the scholarship.
