ABOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS
Once you begin this application, you must complete it to submission. Closing the browser or logging off will delete all of your information unless you have submitted your form. You will receive a confirmation email once you have successfully submitted your form. If you do not receive this confirmation email within 24 hours of submitting, please contact the Scholarship Administrator.
What happens after you submit your application?
The Trustees will review all applications received before the deadline and will shortlist between 10 and 15 candidates for a follow-up interview. Shortlisted students must make themselves available for a personal interview by the Selection Panel should they wish to be considered for the award.
Shortlisted students will be contacted personally by the Scholarship Administrator to inform them that they have been shortlisted and confirm their attendance at the interview.
Once the interviews are complete, the Selection Panel will meet to finalise the winners. The Selection Panel’s decision is final.
Winners will be announced at the same time as UCT’s Student Leadership Awards ceremony. This date is decided by the University each year, but is traditionally held in the fourth quarter.
