Submit One Online Application:
An application will be accepted and reviewed if the applicant submits only one completed application electronically through the online application site by the Application Deadline: February 29, 2024 (for Window 1 programs only). An application is considered complete if it includes:
- Two recommendation letters, submitted online, from people who have direct knowledge of the applicant’s professional work experience. and b. One completed Application Form (which includes an applicant’s agreement to conditions stated on the Signature Page of the Application Form) that is written in either in English or the language of their master’s degree program. (For example, a completed Application Form written in French by an applicant who is seeking a scholarship to attend a preferred university in the United Kingdom will not be reviewed). Among other information, completing the Application Form includes uploading scanned copies of:
(i) documentation that proves the applicant meets the eligibility requirement with regard to the number of years of recent development-related work. (See FAQs for details regarding the extent and type of documentation required to be uploaded)
(ii) the applicant’s Bachelor’s degree diploma, and if applicable, also the diploma of the applicant’s most advanced graduate degree. (Do not include a transcript, or upload a transcript as a substitute for a diploma).
(iii) C.V. using the format provided in Annex 4 and written in English or the language of the master’s degree program for which the applicant is seeking JJWBGSP funding. If the work was not paid, do not include it in your CV. Instead, you can create a category “Volunteer Work” in your CV and list under that heading unpaid internships or other unpaid work.
(iv) unconditional (except for financing) Letter of Admission for the upcoming academic year to the JJ/WBGSP participating master’s program: • which is among those listed on the JJ/WBGSP website; • for which the applicant is seeking JJWBGSP funding; and • that is located outside of the applicant’s country of citizenship and country of residence. (See Annex 5 for greater clarity about what is meant by “unconditional”.)
