Applications are available on the Thouron Award website. In addition to the completed application, the student must submit the Thouron Award application with a passport-sized color photograph; one copy of the equality and diversity monitoring form; three references on the provided forms; a personal statement of one page or less describing his/her academic /personal goals and objectives in relation to his/her proposed program of study and how the award would help in accomplishing these goals; and a copy of a curriculum vitae of no more than one page. Applicants are responsible for ensuring that their chosen referees receive and submit the required reference report form by the deadline. Suggestions for appropriate referees might include the following: 1) university dean of faculty or master of college, 2) professor or head of department/school who can assess academic performance, 3) tutor/lecturer/class head or other person with personal knowledge of applicant's work, activities and other strengths, 4) supervisor/manager of any employment, paid or voluntary, permanent or temporary. In addition to the completed scholarship application, students must also apply for admission to the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). This is a separate process from the scholarship application, and the student must be aware of the deadlines and time scales for both. Information on the admission process is available online. Students should note that graduate admission at UPenn is decentralized, meaning the student must apply directly to his/her intended program department. All students are required to present GRE scores. All application materials must be received no later than 5 p.m. GMT on the deadline date.
