Selection process
Applications for the scholarship are made to the Aziz Foundation who
shortlist, interview, and make offers according to the criteria above. The
awarding of a scholarship does not imply that the applicant has been made an
offer of study. Goldsmiths' usual application, admissions, and selection
processes will apply.
An offer of study by Goldsmiths does not imply that this includes the
Scholarship award. Applications for the scholarship must be made separately as
outlined above.
Discontinuation of study will normally result in the ending of the
Scholarship. In cases where the student suspends study, the scholarship may
only resume with the approval of the Aziz Foundation.
