4. I work in a Company/University, but my Company/University is not sponsoring me. Will it be possible to get scholarships in such a case?

NAAMII is a not-for-profit research institute dedicated to the capacity building of youths and the democratisation of AI. It is our continuous effort to make AI education as affordable and accessible as possible. While it is our best effort to provide as much financial support to as many attendees as possible, as a new institution, we are bound by various financial and logistical constraints. Regrettably, we cannot offer you a scholarship now.

Students who recently completed their studies, passed out in less than 6 months, and are awaiting results may be considered students a case-by-case basis. If so, please provide an ID card with a valid date and justify clearly in your application.

8. If I select that I won't attend without a scholarship, will it affect my chances of being accepted into the program?
