What are we looking for?
Selection for all WTI supported scholarships is based on the following priorities:
Giving back: We ask scholarship recipients to put what they learn into practice in the future for the benefit of their communities, regions and to the broader Windle community. If you have a track record of community involvement, your application will be considered favourably.
Student status: We give scholarships to people who have refugee status, have been internally displaced, marginalised, in need, or otherwise affected by conflict.
Financial need: You should be able to demonstrate genuine financial need, and be unable to meet the costs of your study independently.
Gender: To address the huge gender inequality in education among the communities in which we work, we seek to give priority to girls and women. One of our key focuses is on dealing with the disparity in communities, schools, and employment sectors by offering scholarship opportunities that empower women.
Origin and coverage: We give scholarships to people who are resident in the regions of Africa in which we work.
