JESH Application

The steps involved in applying for a JESH fellowship are as follows:

I. Consideration of general guidelines

II. Preparation of application documents

III. Submission of application documents

I GENERAL GUIDELINES

Application language

Applications must be written in English.

Subsequent amendments

It is not possible to make amendments or submit missing documents once an application has been submitted.

Only applications which fulfil the formal criteria will be considered for assessment.
