Prospective applicants are advised to thoroughly read the Guidelines before submitting an application. The Guidelines were updated in 2023 to include less restrictive eligibility criteria, allowing graduates of more than five years’ standing to apply for a scholarship.
Applicants are also advised to carefully consider their preferred institutions and destinations, given the potential ongoing impact on international travel due to COVID-19. Institutions that applicants may wish to consider are included in the Guidelines. The number of scholarships awarded each year is currently under review.
