De Havilland Scholarship Terms and Conditions
All information will be held as confidential to those judging the applications and all Cambridge Flying Group records will be destroyed after the selection process.
In the event that the winning candidate later cannot meet the requirements of the scholarship we may re-offer to another shortlisted candidate or hold another competition or not make the award.
After 10 hours of tuition an appraisal will be made to determine that sufficient progress has been achieved to justify continuing tuition. If in the unlikely case this happens the scholarship would be terminated at that point.
The scholarship aims to cover up to 75% of the flying costs of a standard PPL course of 45 hours. Other costs such as travel, clothing, books etc are not included. In effect the winner will pay 25% of the flying rate as the hours are flown.
It can happen that a candidate takes more than the prescribed 45 hours to gain his licence whereas this bursary covers the standard 45 hours only.
The scholarship is non transferrable to any other organisation.
The winner must read and agree to abide by the rules of Cambridge Flying Group.
The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers is the final arbiter and decision maker and will not undertake to provide any information as to how any individual candidate has been selected.
