What is the committee looking for?The only “guarantee” is that if you don’t apply, you can’t win. The Committee does not expect detailed and intimate knowledge of Cambridge. They look for students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, a well thought out plan of study, and a strong desire to succeed at Cambridge. Q4.

for the student who has the ability and determination to succeed.
It is also a caring institution with very low drop-out rates,
reflecting its success as an open and inclusive university. Q5. What does the application process involve?Read the directions in the application procedure section. If things are still unclear, feel free to contact us. Q6. Will I be contacted if I am not accepted for an interview?Yes, all applicants will be contacted whether they receive an interview or not. Q7. I have been awarded a scholarship. How do I collect the money?Tuition-related costs will be paid directly to your College and the University. Air travel will be provided through the Toronto offices of Blyth Academy. Accommodation fees will be paid directly to the College, while maintenance funds will be provided quarterly directly to you in Cambridge. Q8.

We will help you with the process and pay the fees. You must be in Canada when you make your application. The British High Commission in Ottawa is the only British visa office in Canada. The UK operates a points-based immigration system, which affects students from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, and ties a student’s visa to the university which he/she will be attending. If you are made an offer by the University and accept it, you’ll be issued with a ‘confirmation of acceptance for studies’ (CAS) number, which you will need to apply for a visa. The quickest and easiest way to apply for your visa is to apply online at www.ukvisas.gov.uk no more than three months before you plan to travel. Q12. I Still have more questions is there anyone who can provide me with more information?Yes, you may contact the program administrator via the contact form or via the toll free telephone number; both are found here. Q13. Is there a fee to submit my Scholarship Application to Blyth Academy?No, there is no fee. |
