All SIG funded students who have previously been terminated must satisfy the following conditions: Satisfy requirements outlined in the Scholarships handbook policy for terminated students. Re-apply for scholarships through the merit-based selection process (only if program is listed in the SITESP Plan/Scholarships Priority list).

For instance, if a student is terminated at a Bachelor’s degree level, he/she can only apply for a qualification higher than the Bachelors degree
