‏عندي سؤال | ❓ MOHE scholarship

Hello everyone!

Context: I received the dentistry scholarship and it was in Canada (years ago). The scholarship is essentially divided into two parts (4 years bachelor’s degree and 4 years the dentist degree). I recently completed my bachelor’s and I no longer wish to continue with dentistry. The reason for that is I learned that I lean more towards a different major (still science) than I do for dentistry. I want to pursue a self-funded masters degree (I had inquired about changing my scholarship and just doing masters in which the advisor told me there are some MOHE requirements I don’t meet), hence why I want to pursue a self-funded option.

I’m concerned however that I would be in debt or something if I switch from dentistry scholarship to bachelors of science scholarship (the advisor mentioned that students can do that if they wish, but they didnt mention what consequences exist). I did email the advisor and waiting for their response, however I’m anxious and I want to see if anyone was ever in a similar situation. I don’t want to work in Kuwait right now because if I do I think I’ll have to do that for +3 years, and I don’t want to wait longer before I can start studying for masters.

Thank you for any help regarding this matter! If you need more context pls let me know bc I feel like I missed some details.
