  • Have 3 years work experience.
  • Have substantial experience in community service or development-related activities.

  • Propose to pursue a post-graduate degree that will directly enhance their leadership capacity in a practical, policy, academic, or artistic discipline or field corresponding to one or more of the Foundation's areas of endeavour.
  • Present a plan specifying how they will apply their studies to social problems or issues in their country.

  • Doctoral candidates MUST submit proposals and provide writing/research samples.
