References
You are required to provide one academic reference and one personal reference.
The academic reference may be the same as one of the academic references submitted with your study application. If you do not have access to those references, instead please upload a holding document (e.g. Word) with the name of the referee. The reference will then be uploaded by us after you have submitted the scholarship application.
The personal reference should be written by a non-family member who will serve as a personal character reference. For example an academic advisor who is aware of your personal attributes, a current or former employer, or a senior staff member in an organisation where you have volunteered.
If your referee(s) would prefer to send the reference(s) directly to us, please ask them to email the reference to [email protected], and to include your name and the name of the scholarship for which it is intended, before the scholarship deadline date. When you apply for the scholarship, in place of the reference, please upload a holding document with the referee's name, and a note that the reference will be sent directly by them. The document will then be added after you have submitted the application, as long as we receive it by the application deadline.
Please note: We do not recommend using an academic reference in place of the personal reference, as this may not meet the requirements of the scholarship and may be detrimental to your application. Please only do this if you are sure that it can serve as a personal reference, e.g. if it is written by an academic who is familiar with and refers specifically to your non-academic qualities.
The Selection Committee seeks applicants who are academically excellent and gifted students. The successful scholar will be expected to engage with our Student Ambassadors Scheme and the British Council.
