of the process. Specifically, at this stage, applicants/academics are being asked to complete only <b><i>Sections 1, 2, and 3a-c and e </i></b>of the Application Template attached (<i>NB </i>submission of Section 3d, <i>Case for Support </i>should not be
made at this stage). This should then be submitted, along with full academic transcripts showing the student’s undergraduate academic record to date, for the internal Faculty/University adjudication process. Those chosen to go forward at University level
would then complete the full application, including the <i>Case for Support </i>and the <i>Statement of Institutional Support</i>, for final submission to The Carnegie Trust.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

work with their VDRs in order to tune the applications towards final submission. Prospective supervisors should work with the student applicants in order to complete the on-line nomination; RKES colleagues will work with the academic supervisor(s) to obtain
University sign-off. The appropriate files must be submitted online through the Trust’s website by <b>5pm on the 28<sup>th </sup>February 2021.</b> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
