Suggestions for completing your scholarship application form:
Given the high standard of applicants in the past, competition for this special scholarship is tough. Having no prior knowledge of the applicants, the DBREV Selection Panel has to make a decision about who to invite for an interview from the information on this application form. Academic results play an important role in our decision, so make sure that you provide us with a complete and clear academic record. But just as importantly we are looking for an individual with specific attitudes, interests and abilities that will uphold the vision of the DBREV Trust. We are therefore very interested in finding out about the full range of your character, skills and potential. It is therefore important to take some time to think carefully about what to write. Letters of recommendation and character reference play an important role in selecting candidates for interviews. All the best with your application! Any problems with the form - drop info@dougbanks.co.za an email.
• We would strongly suggest that you draft your responses in a Word processor and copy and paste your responses into the online form – losing internet connectivity while completing the form may cause you to lose your data.
• Your submission must be in your own words. DO NOT copy and paste without citing.
• If using quotations in support of your submission, please provide the full citation.
• Please take note of the character or word limits for each field - the form will not save if you have exceeded those.
