Application Process

The Process

Application involves completion of the written application form and if shortlisted, an online interview.

Applicants must secure an internal sponsor at a senior/strategic level to ensure that they are able to maximize the opportunities created by the scholarship. Should the applicant be successful, regular face-to-face meetings should be held with the internal sponsor to ensure that appropriate support is available internally, in addition to the mentorship provided by FoNS. This includes prioritizing time to meet with the FoNS mentor and to undertake activities relating to development and innovation.
