• False or misleading information: Human Appeal Australia reserves the right to withdraw an offer of a scholarship and re-assess the application if the HAA believes the recipient has provided false or misleading information in the application form or subsequently.
• Late applications: applications received after the closing date may be accepted only if accompanied by a signed formal request outlining exceptional circumstances outside your control that have resulted in a late application, e.g. serious illness or other personal crisis. The selection committee will later determine whether or not a late application will be considered, based on the explanation you provide. (Note: Reasons relating to employment, placements, holidays or other activities that you choose to engage in are unlikely to be considered “exceptional”.)
• Application process: the assessment will commence after the application closing date. You will be notified of the outcome via email approximately 4 weeks after the application closing date. To ensure that all candidates are treated with equity, staff are unable to advice you of the progress of an individual application.
