In making the recommendation, the Dean (or nominee) will give equal consideration to: a. ability to write clearly in English and b. any history of not having come to university directly from school and of having worked in the intervening period.
The Dean (or nominee) will also consider academic achievement, but will give this criterion less weighting than the first two criteria.
Applicants who are previous holders of the scholarship will be given equal consideration with new applicants.
If, in any year, there is no candidate of sufficient merit, no scholarship will be awarded.
