Scholarship terms
and conditions
This information is for those students
awarded The Cass Scholarship from London Met
The scholarship panel decides who will be
awarded the scholarship based on the application submitted. The decisions are
based on a combination of the personal statement, academic achievements,
references, evidence of voluntary work done, etc included on the Scholarship
application form. The scholarship panel decisions are final.
The scholarship is open only to students on
the Two Year Full Time MA Curating The Contemporary course at
Reasons for not being awarded a scholarship
are not provided, as resources do not permit.
The period of time the scholarship is
offered for is clearly stated and not extendable.
The scholarship is for the ONE named person
All scholarship students should be in good
mental and physical health and must advise the scholarships office of any
medical conditions they may have.
Please note that when requested scholars
are required to show originals (not photocopies) of transcripts and documents
submitted in evidence with their scholarship application, and present these to
the Scholarships office, if there is any question of authenticity. If, after
checking, we discover any documents that are NOT 100% genuine, the scholarship
award will immediately be invalidated and withdrawn. The University accepts NO
liability in this case.
It is the scholar's responsibility to set a
good example, e.g. strive for best results, attend classes, finish the course
on time and continue to demonstrate the exemplary student attributes/grades by
which he/she was awarded the scholarship.
All scholars should finish their course on
time and only authorised postponements (requested in advance from the relevant
Academics, scholarship office and Director) will be considered and only in
exceptional circumstances, and for a valid reason. Delaying handing in a
dissertation or course work is chargeable and this therefore deprives another
student from being awarded a scholarship as this costs the University funds
which are not budgeted for, therefore, this is not advisable. If a scholar
delays in handing in assignments or course work (i.e. dissertation, etc.) to
complete their course, they may be responsible for paying any additional
charges, as requested.
The University is only able to defer a
scholarship on one occasion and only when formally requested by the scholar to
the Scholarship office, with a valid reason for this and only if circumstances
merit this decision being taken will this be granted.
The University likes to celebrate its'
excellence and will be requesting to interview you and arrange for you to have
your portrait taken by the University photographer (usually on the day of the
Scholarship Evening or in exceptional circumstances this may be arranged
separately). Scholars are expected to co-operate however, if one wants to 'opt
out' they may, by writing to scholarships@londonmet.ac.uk
and advising us of the reason and an exception will be considered.
All scholars agree to allow us to share
certain data (name, course, student ID number, institution, etc. as required)
with other parties within the University.
We may also use information collected
regarding the scholars in our University's Marketing activities; however,
students' addresses and telephone numbers will not be given out without
permission from the student, via a request from us.
We may feature your
interview/photo/profile/story on the London Met website and/or other University
publications and will normally ask for your permission/approval prior to
publishing this.
The University reserves the right to
utilise this information in the promotion of the University and in any other
student recruitment and/or Scholarship promotion activities.
All scholars will take part in welcoming
new scholars to the scholarship programme by attending scholarship evenings,
etc. when invited.
Students are allowed to work part-time, in
accordance with their visa conditions, to help support themselves during their
studies. The University provides an excellent Careers guidance service and
students interested in finding out information on jobs available, interview
tips, employment opportunities, etc. should take advantage of this service by
visiting them at: /student-services/careers/current/home.cfm
The University reserves the right to
investigate and possibly withdraw a person from the scholarship programme, if there
is adequate proven evidence of serious allegations of illegal activities
discovered.
The University reserves the right to make
reasonable changes to this contract at any time and will advise valid scholars
if this occurs, as and when required.
