SELECTION PROCESS

How Recipients Are Chosen

All applications are reviewed against the eligibility criteria. Those that meet the requirements are shortlisted and presented to the Foundation’s Board for final selection.

The Board’s selection is discretionary. Meeting the minimum GPA does not guarantee selection. The Board considers the full application, including academic performance, financial need, the quality of the essay, and the academic reference, in identifying the two recipients who best reflect the values the Foundation exists to honour.

Two recipients are selected per academic cycle, one male and one female. All applicants will be notified of the outcome within eight weeks of the application deadline.
