Oxbridge Jardine Scholarship Applicants

Hi there! I'm from Singapore and have applied for the Jardine Foundation Scholarship as well. I have also yet to hear from them at all so I'm kinda worried that my application wasn't received by them.

May I know when exactly did they acknowledge the receipt of your application?

Oh hi! No worries, as I presume u send to the Singapore Office, right? I didn't send to that office as it seems to state that u should only send to the one for which your parents are based there for 7 years. When did u send off your info? I think different areas operate differently in terms of the timing they send off, if I am not wrong, it is processed in London?
I will check later as to what they exactly acknwledge as I leave my school email and the system is rather complicated(allowing specific timing to check, sort of). Btw, what EDU systems do u come from? Maybe, we are from schools nearby!

Hi there! According to what I heard, Jardine Foundation in Singapore didn't send an acknowledgement email this year. You'll only get an email if you get through the first "screening" and qualify for the interview.

I just got one last night too Also applying from Singapore. When are you planning to have your interview? I don't know whether I should schedule one after the A Levels, might be too late though. You lucky IB kid! :P

Haha I arranged it to be on 4th November Tuesday. No issues for me since I'm currently serving NS (ORD soon!) and do not have exam obligations. Hmm..I would think that you should try to schedule it after your A levels so you would be able to concentrate on them one at a time. Not sure if they'll allow it though.

Anyway all the best for your A levels! Go on and ace it!

Hi! I'm from Singapore and my interview is tomorrow. I didn't get a confirmation email though, just the invitation for interview. So perhaps Jardine didn't send out any confirmation emails? Do any of you know how we're supposed to dress? I don't want to be too casual/formal

Just dress normally? Maybe formal, but not too formal (i.e. not like going to a white tie affair). Try to be comfortable, yet formal. Good luck!

Mm I'll try to find something. Thank you! I do hope your application didn't get lost in the mail.... has Jardine responded to you?

Not yet. Maybe because my achievements are not that great? Maybe they are looking for those who do sports? :P

Don't lose hope yet maybe they just haven't received it! Are sports an important criteria? I did three sports haha but I don't really have academic achievements :/

My school sent it in on the 10th October, thereabouts. Hmm, you sent it earlier? Maybe I did not specify the interview location, since I am okay with being interviewed in Singapore. Dunno, they keep saying sports a lot of times. I never stated my NS achievements or any so called 'extenuating circumstances', just to make my application less 'whiny' and 'braggy'.

I too have no great academic achievements, just a lot of volunteering work done (through my initiative too and relevant to the subject I am taking).

Which school are you from?

Hwa Chong! What school were you from? I didn't really know what to add to my personal statement so I just threw in whatever I could. I think they sent it around 15-20 October?
