- Important Changes in BasqueStage Application Process: Round 1 -
If you are previously familiar with the Sammic Scholarship for BasqueStage, you will know that this year, the application process looks a bit…different.
Several factors have motivated us to revise the way we choose our scholarship winners, resulting in a process that we believe is more streamlined, user-friendly, and conducive to finding us the best possible candidates. The process has been broken down into two stages. In this post, we’ll talk about Stage 1.
STAGE 1 (20TH FEBRUARY – 30TH MARCH)
The first stage will take place between February 20, 2012 and March 30, 2012, after which the applications for the scholarship will no longer be accepted.
This stage requires candidates to submit personal information, the address of their blog and twitter accounts, and answer a short question: Why do you want to be a candidate at Basque Stage?
What if you don’t have a blog or twitter account? You should still apply, but we strongly encourage you to open one, even if it is empty at the time of registration.
This simple process should take about ten minutes, and it gives us the information we need to choose thirty candidates to proceed to Round 2. These thirty candidates will be named April 1 on the BasqueStage website. More on the requirements of Round 2 later!
