Due to the purpose and scope as well as the finite
capacity of financial resources the following limitations and
restrictions apply to individual studies accompanied by the WCC through
its scholarships programme:
- Applications must be submitted using the WCC scholarship application form available in three languages – English, French and Spanish – on the WCC scholarships website.
- Individual studies are to be undertaken outside of the country of residence, but within the specific region – i.e. Africa, Asia, Latin America, etc. –
of the applicant. Studies undertaken at an institution with which the
WCC has a memorandum of agreement will be considered separately. A list
of the institutions and their area of training can be found on the WCC
Scholarships webpage.
- Studies are not to exceed a maximum of two years and are
limited to certificates or masters degree level programmes. Applicants
who receive scholarships awards for studies that last two years must
submit transcripts of their first year’s study in order to be eligible
for receipt of the second year’s scholarship installment. MORE INFO
