The value of the scholarship covers the cost of airfares to most parts of the world. While visiting overseas countries can undoubtedly be a life-enriching experience, to be successful, applicants are expected to have a very specific purpose in mind. Professional development courses, conferences, semester programs\/exchange at an overseas university or college are common examples of specific purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bearing in mind that travel grants are given to outstanding student leaders, we also request some explanation of how the intended program might be expected to enhance your leadership skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also look for details of how far your planning has progressed. If your application is highly regarded but you are still awaiting a response from an overseas institution, we may be prepared to wait for a reasonable time before announcing our decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Importantly, before transferring any funds to you, we require relevant documentary evidence (e.g., an invoice from a travel agent or a copy of an e-ticket).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

POST GRADUATE RESEARCH APPLICANTS:<\/b><\/p>\n

The post-graduate research category of the scholarship is intended for students pursuing a doctorate or a master\u2019s degree by thesis. Students undertaking a master\u2019s degree purely by coursework are excluded from consideration. There is a grey area in which a master\u2019s coursework program may include a substantial minor research project. Some details of the nature of your intended research are required, including a statement from a supervisor that the research plan has been approved.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the cost of enrolling for a higher degree course is far greater than the value of this scholarship, we request that applicants illustrate how the scholarship funds would be utilised, e.g., for purchasing a piece of equipment or participating in a relevant conference. Support for enrolment fees or living expenses is unlikely to be successful.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

REFEREES:<\/b><\/p>\n

Contact details of a minimum of two referees are required as part of your application. Please ensure that at least one of your referees is someone who can provide an assessment of your capability to pursue your chosen research project or, if you are applying for a travel grant, to benefit from the program you have chosen. <\/span><\/p>\n

If your application is short-listed, we contact your referees.<\/span><\/p>\n
