Successful applicants will be required to provide to the donor a brief written report (one A4 page) on completion of their exchange/placement.
The Scholarship must be taken up in the year in which it is offered; acceptance of the Scholarship offer cannot be deferred. If a student declines the Scholarship offer, the Scholarship will be offered to the next eligible student.
Please note: All students must apply through the Global Learning Application System (GLAS) in order to study overseas and receive credit. Please ensure Global Learning and your Faculty approve your overseas study.
