Travel Grant Applicants:
The value of the scholarship covers the cost of airfares to most parts of the world. While visiting overseas countries can undoubtedly be a life-enriching experience, to be successful, applicants are expected to have a very specific purpose in mind. Professional development courses, conferences, semester programs/exchange at an overseas university or college are common examples of specific purposes.
Bearing in mind that travel grants are given to outstanding student leaders, we also request some explanation of how the intended program might be expected to enhance your leadership skills.
We also look for details of how far your planning has progressed. If your application is highly regarded but you are still awaiting a response from an overseas institution, we may be prepared to wait for a reasonable time before announcing our decision.
Importantly, before transferring any funds to you, we require relevant documentary evidence (e.g., an invoice from a travel agent or a copy of an e-ticket).
