Application tips from the Scholarship panel:
  • Explain how the situation in your country has affected you personally. Don’t just describe the situation in your country.
  • Do not send a CV but include any evidence you have to support your personal statement, since it may be recquired from you at a later date if your application is short listed.
  • Don’t focus on your academic qualifications unless it is relevant to your application.
  • The Scholarship is for a substantial amount of funding so it is expected to see students giving time and consideration to their application and using detailed information about their situation.
