All candidates are considered eligible for a grant. However, because of budgetary limitations, there are currently a small number of trainees who are not paid and whose travel expenses are not reimbursed. The Commission has decided to phase out these unpaid places and has asked for increased funds from the Budgetary Authority. It hopes that all trainees will be paid by the year 2001. The objective of this extra payment is to help disabled trainees to cover extra expenses such as transport, the cost of special accommodation etc. which might be required due to their disability.
Age limit The age limit for trainees is thirty.
Failure to do this is the commonest reason for the rejection of applications. Any other optional supporting documentation such as a detailed CV or references may be sent with the application form and should reach the Traineeships Office before the relevant closing dates. Make sure that you keep a copy of all the documentation which you submit to the Traineeships Office and do not send originals of your diplomas etc. It is not necessary to send authenticated copies of your degree certificates. If possible, application forms should be filled in using a typewriter.
