Applications open for Allan Gray Orbis Foundation Scholarship
The scholarship provides learners with comprehensive financial support and access to an entrepreneurial and personal development programme. The scholarship aims to broaden the pool of successful applicants to the Allan Gray Fellowship, aimed at Grade 12 and first-year university students.
The Scholarship is open to current Grade 6's who will start Grade 8 in 2015. The selection criteria include:
- Personal traits: Must demonstrate courage, leadership, vision and self-knowledge. The applicants must also display a track record in excellence, creativity and innovation.
- Academic requirements: Applicants must achieve 70% or higher in Mathematics, English.
- The applicant has to demonstrate financial need and be a South African citizen.
The first step in the application process requires the learner to complete an application form. Upon the receipt of the application form, candidates that meet these requirements will proceed through a series of tests which provide a clearer picture of the applicant's abilities.
Those who successfully complete this phase will be interviewed and the most deserving of these are then invited to attend one of the Foundation's Selection Camps, which is the final stage of the selection process.
