a scholarship until you are accepted. When you
receive your acceptance letter, send them a
copy and they will attach it to your application.

Tips for sending your application electronically:
They require an official transcript from secondary school and from any tertiary school classes you have already completed. Be sure the transcript contains a key to interpreting the grades, as different countries use different systems of assessing the quality of the student’s academic progress. If there is no key included, your application will be disqualified. Do not include grades from primary level.
Send the complete package at one time. Do not
send piecemeal. (If scanning necessitates separate documents, send them one after the other, all in the same time period)
When sending via email, please label your attached documents, for example: WMF Application form, Recommendation #1, Rec #2, Personal statement, Acceptance letter, About the school, Grades.
Do not shrink or enlarge your attachments. They
will be too blurry to read when printed at normal size. To be sure you have scanned them in the dimensions in which they should open, email them to yourself and open them to see if they look right before sending.
When scanning and attaching documents, be sure they are dark enough to read after scanning. Illegible required documents will disqualify your application.
Deadline: There is only one deadline per year and that is April 1 .
