Terms of Service
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using the MtishbiScholars website, student platform, or educational advisory services.
Acceptance of Terms & Scope
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “Student”, or “you”) and MtishbiScholars (“we”, “our”, or “us”), an education consultancy operating in the United Republic of Tanzania.
By visiting our website (https://www.mtishbischolar.com), creating a student account, submitting an inquiry, uploading academic files, or using any of our educational consultancy services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the platform.
Student Accounts & Registration
To access certain platform features, including submitting university applications and tracking admission progress, you must register for a student account using your email address and password or an authorized authentication provider (Google OAuth).
Account Accuracy: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to promptly update your profile if your contact or personal details change.
Credential Confidentiality: You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account.
Unauthorized Access: If you discover or suspect unauthorized access to your account, you must immediately notify our technical support team at support@mtishbischolar.com.
Educational Advisory Scope
MtishbiScholars provides education advisory, guidance, course matching, scholarship discovery, application compilation support, document verification assistance, and pre-departure preparation for students seeking higher education opportunities.
Nature of Service: Our advisory services are designed to assist applicants in identifying suitable academic programs and submitting organized application files. MtishbiScholars does not function as a university, examination body, academic institution, or immigration authority.
University & Course Information
Our platform displays profiles, course descriptions, entry requirements, estimated tuition fees, and intake schedules for international universities and partner colleges across various destination countries (such as India, the United Kingdom, Poland, Malaysia, China, Cyprus, and the UAE).
While we strive to keep university and program listings accurate and up-to-date, institutional requirements, curriculum structures, program availability, tuition fees, and admission deadlines are established independently by each university and are subject to change without prior notice.
Scholarship Opportunities & No Guarantee
MtishbiScholars features information regarding institutional scholarships, tuition discount waivers, and financial aid schemes offered by universities and external awarding bodies.
MtishbiScholars does not award scholarships independently and does not guarantee that any student will receive a scholarship, funding award, or tuition discount. Scholarship awards, percentages, criteria, and quotas are decided exclusively by the respective university or funding entity based on merit, availability, and eligibility.
University Admission Applications
When you submit an application through the platform, our admission officers review your academic files, check minimum eligibility guidelines, and forward verified files to the chosen partner institution.
Independent Decision-Making: The final decision to accept or reject an application, issue a conditional offer, or issue an unconditional admission letter rests solely and exclusively with the admissions board of the target university. MtishbiScholars has no authority to grant admission on behalf of any university.
Visa & Immigration Guidance
We provide students with general advisory support, document checklists, Embassy appointment guidance, and pre-departure preparation assistance for student visa applications.
Government Immigration Authority Disclaimer
MtishbiScholars is not a government agency, embassy, or immigration authority. Visa issuance, entry permits, and immigration clearances are determined entirely by the immigration department and consular authorities of the destination country. MtishbiScholars cannot guarantee visa approval, entry permission, or processing timelines.
Payments, Application Fees & Financial Terms
Certain services, application processing, or institutional evaluation procedures may require payment of applicable fees. Applicable fees, required payment methods, and verification instructions will be communicated to you before payment is required.
Non-Refundable Fees Policy
All fees paid to MtishbiScholars for services, application processing, administrative processing, advisory services, or other applicable services are non-refundable once payment has been made.
Where payments are made to or on behalf of a university, institution, scholarship provider, or other third party, those payments are also subject to the applicable third-party terms and policies.
By making a payment, you acknowledge and agree that the applicable fee is non-refundable.
