You will need to complete three forms
- The
Blyth Scholarship application form, which must
be completed, along with an up-to-date transcript, your most
recent report card, two letters of support from teachers and
one from a member of the community, a passport sized photo,
a list of academic achievements, your 1000 word essay and proof
of citizenship (birth certificate or passport) by October 8,
2010.
Essay
The essay is very important and should be approached conscientiously.
Until the interview (if you are selected for one), it is the
best way, along with the letters from your referees, for the
committee to get a sense of your knowledge base,your interests,
and your academic abilities. Please choose a topic which directly
relates to the discipline you are applying to read. The essay
should be a 1000 word exploration of this topic. You will be
assessed on the depth of knowledge you demonstrate, as well
as your written and analytical skills. Feel free to get creative,
from the essay we are gauging what you feel passionate about
academically and your ability to communicate that passion in
an interesting fashion.
Letters of recommendation
Two letters of support from your teachers and one letter from
a member of your community must be submitted with your application.
