Latest changes

Claude Masse scholarships updated

The scholarship content now reflects major changes to eligibility, funding, scope, and application details, with one page reduced to contact information and a new 2026 master’s award page added.

See more

The Claude Masse scholarship content changed substantially: the 2026 master’s scholarship page introduces a new award structure with updated eligibility, selection criteria, funding terms, and application instructions. Another page now keeps only contact details and the deadline, while a legacy page was reduced to a brief summary of a different scholarship offering. Overall, the grant content now presents different target audiences, different funding terms, and less complete application guidance than before. The submission email remains visible, but several supporting details that were previously listed are no longer shown on the affected pages.
