However, unsuccessful applicants may re-apply in the next application round. Applications must be submitted to the host institute. An Advisory Committee, representing a selection of expertise in science, engineering, and technology appropriate to the areas supported by the Fellowships, assesses applications and make recommendations on the selection of Fellows to the Board of the Foundation. All candidates will be advised by early-November as to whether or not they have been shortlisted for interview. The Foundation will advise shortlisted candidates of the final results of their applications in December.
Fellowships are tenable from the commencement of the year following application lodgment.
Any Fellowship offer not taken up by the end of March, of that year, will lapse. In the case of PhD Fellowships, the tenure shall be for a period of three years from the start of the programme. Fellows are required to provide six monthly progress reports, which will be reviewed by the Foundation. Fellowships must be taken up by 31 March in the year following offers. In some instances, a Fellowship may be held in conjunction with other scholarships or awards, at the descretion of the Foundation.
