What is the process
To be eligible for a PwC Aspire Scholarship you must be nominated by your school. Make your teachers aware that you are interested in being involved with the programme and discuss the eligibility criteria with them. Your school principal will have the full details of the information that needs to be provided. We encourage you to put your name forward and clearly articulate why you believe you should be considered.
The nomination application process is online and your school principal will have details as to how to access the application database.
The key dates in our selection process are as follows:
Nominations close: 8th August 2008
Student interviews: 22nd August – 5th September 2008
Winners announced: 11th September 2008
The interviews provide you with an opportunity to tell us why you think you should be a PwC Aspire Scholarship winner. It's an excellent time to ask us any questions about working at PwC once you have completed your degree. You can also ask us to explain any of the jargon we use about our areas of work that you’re not sure about - so you get to better understand what we really do.
You’ll be interviewed by PwC people who know what it’s like to attend an interview in an environment which is new to you, so there's no need to be nervous, we’re really interested in getting to know you.
