    Observations

    The center is keen on the diversity of programs accredited by multiple international bodies, and from this point of view, obtaining unconditional admission from one of the accredited universities does not mean final acceptance in the center's program "Sacgc Global Enrichment".
    -The Center will go through a thorough eligible application process which consists of the date of acceptance, date of submission of applications to the Center, and then a final list of the scholarship admissions will be drawn up of the center.
    -The Center has the right to cancel/withdraw the sponsorship under any circumstance determined by SACGC without incurring any claims.
