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.
