Hi
Does anyone know if there is an upper age limit - Im 41....would i be considered too old ?

thx

wallacengrommet, the age criteria are fully described on the application form....

Quite a likely stupid question,
Does anyone know where they would like application forms to be sent?
Thanks

I would imagine to the address on the first page of the form!

Hope you've got my application by now then :)

Does the selection process only exist of 1 interview and that's it? Or do you have to make a PAT or something like that?

There are 2 stages in the selection process, the second of which is an interview:

(1) The Selection Committee considers all the application forms and selects a short-list of candidates to go on to the second stage.

(2) Short-listed candidates are required to attend an interview with the Selection Committee at the Guild Office in Central London on the 5th or 6th May. The interview process includes short tests to help ascertain aptitude and ability.


(Edit: I'm an active member of the Guild but I'm not on the Selection Committee.)

That's clear. Thank you!

Do you maybe know how many applicants apply to these scholarships?

^^ Good questions

Well, it's closing day today, so, from 7am tomorrow I can be found in a sleeping bag under my letter box, just in case I'm lucky! :}

To those who applied:

Applications for 2011 are now closed. There were approximately 400 applications.

You will know if you have got through to the interview stage by mid-April.
In the meantime, remember to keep the 5th and 6th May free in your diary.

Good luck. :ok:

400! Good luck to everyone who has also applied. Looks like it will be tough.

Anyone lucky enough to have received an invite yet?

Anyone heard anything?

I've still not been home yet..
Getting a little eager as it would be the best news..
