Duration and related considerations: Scholarships may be for up to five years. All grants must be renewed annually, based on the Scholar's progress and availability of funds with FAEA. Students must engage in full-time study and be enrolled in a formal degree program.

Other Financial support: FAEA Scholars are responsible for informing the FAEA office of other grants, scholarships and financial aid they have received for their study program. Award amounts may be negotiated based on this information. Failure to report additional financial support/scholarship can constitute grounds for withdrawal of the BHEL-FAEA Scholarships.

Deferment: Deferments (postponement) may be permitted once for up to one year. A request for deferment may be made for personal reasons such as the serious illness of the fellow or his or her immediate family or adverse conditions in the scholar's home state.
