What is a national scholarship depends on what level of university you are studying. If it is a vice-ministerial university, it will definitely not be the chapter of the Provincial Department of Education. Most provincial universities are stamped by the Provincial Department of Education. The central competent department and the financial and educational departments below the provincial level issue national scholarships and budgets to colleges and universities, and colleges and universities then issue them to award-winning students.
