Scholarship Allocation
A panel of faculty representatives will assess all essays submitted by the application deadline and select the three that are considered to be the strongest. The panel will be looking for evidence of excellent communication skills, an understanding of the course that is being applied for, good existing skills and knowledge and motivation to study. In the event of a tie, all short-listed applicants will be invited to an interview.
