How does the scholarship affect the total fees mentioned in the offer letter?

It depends on the type of scholarship and university policy.

- Tuition fee waivers: If your scholarship covers tuition, that amount is usually deducted from the tuition fees in your offer letter, reducing your financial obligation.
- Living expense scholarships: If your scholarship provides a stipend for living costs (like DAAD), it does not reduce the tuition fees shown in the offer letter. Instead, funds are paid directly to you.
- University-specific awards: Some universities offer scholarships that cover part of the tuition. If granted, the offer letter may show the reduced fee.

Always review your offer letter and consult the university’s admissions or financial aid office to confirm how your scholarship is applied.
