  • Two qualified assessors independently review each eligible application and score the application on a scale of 1 to 10, taking into account four main factors and the degree of cohesion among them:
    • Quality of Professional Experience (30% weight)
    • Quality of Professional Recommendations (30% weight)
    • Quality of Commitment to your Home Country (30% weight)
    • Quality of Education Background (10% weight)
  • The JJ/WBGSP Secretariat uses the average score of the two assessors and the following criteria to select the finalists:
    • Maintaining a reasonably wide geographical distribution of awards
    • Maintaining a reasonable distribution of awards across gender
    • Unusual circumstances/hardships, when assessing the employment experience and other aspects of an application;
    • Giving scholarships to those applicants who, other things being equal, have limited access to financial resources for graduate studies abroad.
