IDMANN Institute and IDMANN Academy are pleased to announce the commencement of the IDMANN Challenge Bursary for 2021.
The IDMANN Challenge Bursary is financial aid provided by IDMANN Institute and partner organizations that fund the Enterprise Development Fund. The IDMANN Challenge Bursary supports students that are qualified but for reasons of financial need may not be able to cover the cost of their education at IDMANN. The Challenge Bursary is awarded by the President's Office and is intended to ensure diversity and inclusiveness in IDMANN programs, the financial situation of students and families notwithstanding.
The Challenge Bursary is awarded according to the following criteria:
- The IDMANN Challenge Bursary only covers tuition, not the application fee. Awards are made AFTER students have applied and have been successfully admitted into the program.
- The IDMANN Challenge Bursary will only support the first ten (10) eligible students to apply in the qualifying cohort. This means that students who apply early are more likely to be successfully considered for the bursary award. The Challenge Bursary is made on a "first-come first-awarded" basis. Students in eligible countries are STRONGLY encouraged to apply early and to indicate their intent to apply for the bursary award. (No special form is required, simply indicate in the application form.)
- The IDMANN Challenge Bursary covers 50% of the tuition for students. It does NOT cover the application fee.
- The IDMANN Challenge Bursary operates on a contributory basis. This means that students must pay their share of the tuition IN A TIMELY MANNER for the bursary to be applied. In the event that students fail to make their payments in a timely manner, the bursary award will automatically lapse and students will be responsible for the full tuition.
- Bursary awards are for a specific cohort in a specific course and cannot be transferred to another course. However, in the event that the award recipient needs to transfer to a different cohort within the same course, upon approval of their instructor, the bursary award may be transferred to the new cohort at the same level of support as in the previous cohort.
- The IDMANN Challenge Bursary is available subject to continued availability of funds to support the bursary. The Institute and supporting partners may terminate the program without prior notice. In any circumstance, students awarded a bursary will receive the committed support through the completion of their studies at IDMANN Institute.
- For the 2021 academic year, the IDMANN Challenge Bursary is available only to students who are RESIDENT in the following countries at the time of application: Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Haiti and Lebanon.
- If the funds allocated for the Challenge Bursary are not fully utilized, the balance may be made available for open applications from countries outside those listed above.
- Students may apply by simply indicating their desire to be considered for the Challenge Bursary when completing the online application form. No special form is required.
