Funding and what it does not cover

The World Bank page lists economy-class airfare, a US$600 allowance for each trip, tuition, basic medical insurance, and a monthly subsistence allowance while on campus. It says the allowance varies by host country and does not print one amount. Cover is the length of the degree or two years, whichever is less.
