  • Candidates will be required to submit a 2,000 word essay on his/her personal vision, career goals and potential contribution to the activities of the Eurasian Association.

Selection of candidates for the award will be competitive and is based on academic merit as well as financial position of the families.
• Additional consideration will be given to applicants who have (in order of priority) taken part in voluntary work with the Eurasian Association, or who have impressive records of co-curricular activities in Polytechnic or Junior College, or strong leadership potential.
