Application and
selection process
The selection
process as described below applies to scholarships beginning in September 2015.
Student selection
will take place in two phases:
Phase 1: FAO will
pre-screen candidates and submit recommendations to the Ministry of Agriculture
of Hungary that will send them to the corresponding University as chosen by the
applicants. Students must submit only COMPLETEDdossiers. Incomplete
dossiers will not be considered. It is important to note that a favourable
pre-screening in the first step does not guarantee selection.
Phase 2: The
participating Universities will run a further selection process and inform each
of the successful candidates. Student selection will be made by the
Universities only, without any involvement on the part of FAO. Selected
students will also be notified by the Ministry. Selected candidates may be
asked to take a written or oral English examination as part of the admission
procedure.
Candidates will be
selected on the basis of the following criteria:
- Citizenship and residency of one of the eligible countries
- Excellent school achievements
- English language proficiency (for courses taught in English)
- Motivation
- Good health
- Age (candidates under 30 are preferred)
Application
procedure
Interested
applicants should prepare a dossier to be sent by e-mail consisting
of:
- Application form duly completed
- A recent curriculum vitae
- A copy of high school/college diploma and transcript/report of study or copy of the diploma attachment
- A copy of certificate of proficiency in English
- Copies of relevant pages of passport showing expiration date and passport number
- A letter of recommendation
- Statement of motivation
- Health Certificate issued by Medical Doctor
- Certificate of Good Conduct issued by local police authority.
All submitted
documents must be in English. Documents submitted in any other language
will not be accepted. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that
documents are duly translated and certified by a competent office; and that
each document is saved with a name that identifies what it is.
Deadlines
Applications by
interested candidates should be submitted by e-mail to FAO in the period
05 January - 28
February 2015
Paper copies of
dossiers received by post or courier or any other way, will not be taken into
consideration.
Important notes
As the number of
scholarships is limited, interested applicants are strongly encouraged to
submit their applications as soon as possible. Applicants who were not
selected in previous years may re-apply to the 2015-2016 Programme. These
applicants will have to submit the complete dossier once again (by e-mail only!).
Please note that
the duration of the scholarship cannot be extended.
A Scholarship Study
Contract will be signed between the selected student and the Ministry of
Agriculture of Hungary (MoAH), which is the donor of the program at the time of
first semester registration
.
Students are asked
to fill out an end of course evaluation upon completion of their studies and
complete questionnaires on a periodic basis in order to evaluate the impact of
their education. Applicants wishing to explore external funding opportunities
to cover the travel costs may do so at their own initiative. However, in view
of the length of the process, applicants wishing to apply for 2015 scholarships
are strongly encouraged to E-MAIL their application while they endeavour to
identify funds or pending confirmation that such funds will be granted.
All queries
concerning the programme or the application process should be sent by e-mail to REU-Scholarship@fao.org
