While the selection panel will be interested in academic excellence, this is by no means the sole criteria. Special consideration will be given to those applicants who want to make a real difference on their return to their countries. We want to identify those people who can make a mark on their profession and inspire their colleagues.

Candidates should have:

successfully completed an undergraduate degree course equivalent to a Bachelors Degree in the UK (four-year full “profesorado” at national level or “licenciatura”).

attained a standard of English language competence broadly equivalent to a band 7 score on the International English Language Testing Service (IELTS).
If you meet these requirements and are interested in applying, please email the Hornby Scholarship application form stating your preference of institution to becas@britishcouncil.org.ar

Shortlisting will be completed by 26 February 2010. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview and two candidates are then nominated for a Hornby scholarship. The final decision is made by the Hornby Trust in the UK. Interviews will then be conducted during the week of 15 March 2010. Should you be shortlisted, you will be requested to bring the following documents 10 minutes before interview:

a full and up-to-date Curriculum Vitae in English.
