- Meets the requirements for admission to the 银河 澳门 as a degree-seeking student.
- Enrolls as a full-time undergraduate, graduate or law student at the 银河 澳门. (Note: The scholarship committee may make an exception for part-time enrollment should the disability and other circumstances, in the committee’s judgment, preclude full-time enrollment.)
