CRITERIA & CONDITIONS
We announce a competition each January for awards for the forthcoming academic year. Awards are for one year only, and students must apply again for subsequent years
We help students who have a good academic record, who can demonstrate financial need, and who intend to return to Burma eventually to help the democratic rebuilding of the country.
Our awards are intended as a contribution to tuition fees, academic course materials and living expenses including accommodation and food. We do not contribute to international travel or debts. We do not make a contribution to the costs of dependants (spouses, partners, children).
We will require successful applicants to sign a grant letter and to observe the conditions of the award. If a student fails to observe the conditions, they will be liable to repay the money and will not be eligible for future awards.
WARNINGS
We do not acknowledge receipt of applications, nor do we send rejection notices.
Decisions on awards are made by Prospect Burma’s Scholarship Committee and are final.
Anyone submitting false documents, making untrue statements or failing to disclose all relevant information will NOT receive a grant this year or in the future.
APPLICATION FORMS FOR 2010-11
There are two different applications forms. Please make sure you complete the correct one and follow the instructions in the notes attached to the form
• Application for Continued Funding. This form should be completed by returning applicants, who received a Prospect Burma scholarship for the 2009-2010 academic year and who are continuing in the same degree programme.
• Application for New Applicants. This form should be completed by all other applicants.
Prospect Burma will not make grant payments without proof of a student’s enrolment for a specific course. But do not delay submission of your application: if you do not have a confirmed university place offer before 31 March you can provide evidence of your place offer later.
Applicants who received a grant in our 2009 round and who wish to apply again MUST attach their study reports on their experiences during 2009, otherwise the application is likely to be rejected. There is no need to wait for grades: you should send them to us as soon as they become available.
