Step 1: Know the Difference

Before uploading your documents, understand that Fee Receipt and Fee Structure are two different documents. Uploading the wrong one may delay your application.

• A Fee Receipt is a document given by your college after you have paid your fees.
• It shows:

  • Other applicable charges

Step 5: When to Upload a Fee Structure

• Upload the Fee Structure if the scholarship portal specifically asks for it.
• Ensure the document is the latest one issued by your institution.

Step 6: What if Your Fees Have Been Waived?

• Instead, download the Fee Waiver Template provided on the scholarship portal.
