The preliminary application form should be completed and returned to FACE by 3rd July 2009.
Full application forms will then be sent out and should be returned to FACE by 31st July 2009.
Students are assessed on their applications and on an interview to be conducted by FACE staff at the applicants school/home during August/September. Parents should also attend where possible. Successful applicants are notified by mail. No correspondence will be entered into with regard to the acceptance of individual students.
In 2009, a limited number of scholarships will be offered to exemplary students departing in 2010. To be eligible to apply for a scholarship your Australian high school must be willing to accept an inbound student in 2010. Those applying for a tier 1 scholarship will be considered for the tier 2 program (refer ‘money matters’) in the same year if they are not accepted as a tier 1 scholarship student. No correspondence will be entered into with regard to the allocation of scholarships.
