Hi to all! (:
Just have a few queries about application to rsaf and saf
academic scholarship.. hope you guys can help me out with this
(:
basically i am interested signing on for a pilot. medically fit,
i suppose - 165cm, eyesight about a hundred degrees in both eyes,
napfa has more often than not been a gold. was from syfc, but only
completed phase 1 due to commitment issues.. i took my mapas and
compass testing in nov 2008, only to fail compass. they offered me
the wso c3 vocation but i turned down the offer as i decided to
retake the compass again 2.5 years later (may 2011?). i am a third
year student in mi, which means i am taking my a level this
year.
i am considering overseas universities such as ucla for my uni
education.. and hence would like to apply for the saf academic
scholarship.. i believe i am not eligible for the saf merit
scholarship because i don't have the required 11 credits (3h2 4h1
only)..
1) when do i reapply for rsaf again? i don't want to seem like a
pain in the ass to the recruitment guys, really.
2) do i apply for the scholarship on a seperate occassion? or
does that come after signing the bond (assuming all goes well)?
3) how long does the scholarship take to be approved? for me, no
scholarship = no overseas study, because my family isn't that rich
to self-sponsor me for usa university studies.. i don't want to
miss one year of school just because i haven't confirmed my
financial status in case it doesnt go through.
4) i am a retainee. does that affect my chances in
application/interview? likewise, does that affect my scholarship
chances? my results only started picking up after i retained..
yup, guess that will be all the queries i have for now. thank
you guys for your kind advice in advance ((:
