The process for School Nominated Scholarships
If a scholarship requires a school nomination you must:
1. Notify your Counsellor via e-mail that you intend to submit a scholarship application which requires a school nomination. This needs to be done at least 3 weeks prior to the application deadline.
2. Submit your application to your Counsellor by the end of day - 14 days (two weeks before the due date) before the scholarship is due to the Scholarship Organization.
SORRY, LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR NOMINATION.
