If you are successful in your application for an in-person scholarship, you will be notified via email and must fulfil the following obligations:
- Sign a Grant Letter and return it within the agreed timeframe.
- Attend an Orientation Session online to learn about the programme and meet fellow scholars.
- Submit an Annual Report at the end of your academic year, detailing your progress.
- Participate in surveys and assessments.
- Provide Academic Documents, including copies of certificates and transcripts upon graduation.
- Comply with Scholarship Conditions as outlined in the grant letter and Student Handbook.
- Respond to any Additional Requests for information as required by Prospect Burma.
If a scholarship recipient fails to fulfil the above obligations, they may be liable to repay the scholarship and will not be eligible for future awards.
Decisions on awards are made by Prospect Burma’s Scholarship Committee and are final. Anyone submitting false documents, making untrue statements or failing to disclose all relevant information will NOT receive a grant.
Scholars’ orientation session
If you are selected as a successful Prospect Burma scholar, you will be required to attend an in-person scholars’ orientation session. We hold these sessions twice a year so that there will be one which is most appropriately timed for you. During the session, we will cover the following topics:
- About Prospect Burma
- Your obligations as a scholar
- Who supports you?
- Networking with fellow scholars and senior students
- Information and experience sharing
- Q&As
Grant letter
We will issue an official grant letter to you after you win the award, which you’ll receive by email. Once you have received this, you are required to sign and return it back to Prospect Burma by email to scholarships@prospectburma.org, within an agreed time period.
Introduction to your fellow scholars
We will introduce you to fellow scholars studying the same programme and/or attending the same university. For example, if you are studying Education Administration, we will connect you with a current Prospect Burma in-person scholar in a similar field.
Communications with Prospect Burma
If you have any problems, concerns or queries during your studies, the Prospect Burma team are here to help you. We can be contacted via email, Signal and Zoom. You will be notified at the start of your scholarship which member of the team you can contact.
Becoming an alum
We will expect you to attend a Prospect Burma online graduation ceremony, to provide updates of your work in the years ahead, and to contribute to Prospect Burma alumni networking opportunities as they become available. Find out more.
