Staff comments

1) The "commitment date estimated" box is checked because we assume that the scholarship for the academic year 2023-2024 was awarded sometime in early 2023. 2) The implementation start date is estimated as the date of the farewell ceremony for the scholarship recipient while the end date is unknown. 3) The project status is marked as "completion" because the scholarship was for the 2023-2024 academic year, which has concluded. 4) The exact number of scholarships awarded is unknown, but multiple media sources stated that more than 30 students received scholarships.
