Article 1 Objective
To encourage students exhibiting outstanding academic achievement, MPI has established the “Scholarships for Outstanding Academic Achievement” (hereinafter “scholarship”).

Article 2 Eligibility
Macao residents who have enrolled on Higher Diploma Programmes offered by MPI are eligible. At the end of each academic year, students with the highest cumulative GPA or the highest average mark in each programme, and who are recommended by their School Director, are eligible for the scholarship. The list of recommended students will be sent to the Institute’s Management Board for approval by the Student Management Office. Students who have been awarded scholarships or have received grants from other organizations are still eligible for the scholarship, provided that there is no conflict with existing related regulations.

Article 3 Quota
The quota of scholarships shall depend upon the number of programmes offered in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of each Higher Diploma programme. In the procedure to determine eligibility, day and evening class students of each programme shall be in the same group, but those being taught in different media of instruction will be in separate groups. There will be one quota for each programme at each level.

Article 4 Value of the Scholarship
50% of the annual tuition fees of the programme the recipient applied for will be discounted, provided that the recipient has been enrolled on the programme and has submitted the tuition fee.

Article 5 Duration of the Scholarship
The Institute will issue the scholarship in the academic year immediately following the awarding year. However, if a recipient encounters circumstances as indicated in Article 6 below during his/her studies, the scholarship shall be terminated.

Article 6 Termination of Scholarship
Recipients must study their programme according to the study plan stipulated in the government’s gazette, and must be full-time students. If recipients suspend or defer their studies or change to part-time mode half-way through their studies, or fail in any subjects by the end of the academic year, their scholarships will be terminated automatically. Once the scholarship has been terminated, no re-applications can be accepted. If the scholarship amount has already been deducted from the tuition fee at the time the scholarship is terminated, the recipient will be required to repay the deducted amount. Failure to comply with this condition will lead to the former scholarship recipient being suspended from the School.

Article 7 Others
Any other issues arising which are not specified in this regulation shall be subject to determination by the Institute’s Management Board.

If students in receipt of this scholarship are also awarded the full scholarship, the quotas of this scholarship will not be replaced by other students, but receipt of such scholarships will be recorded. The highest discount of tuition fee shall be 100%, and no extra allowance will be given.
