The application and approval process
To apply for a bursary, applicants must:
– Have an endorsement letter
– Submit their full CV
– Attach a copy of their previous education records
Applications are approved by an independent evaluation panel invited by the administration of the trust. Recommendations for funding are compiled for consideration by the board, which in turn makes the final decision on approval.
Applicants that do no successfully complete their studies are liable to repay the cost of their studies to the trust.
