If your application is shortlisted, you will be invited to a 20-25 minute interview via Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp or Zoom.

The interview will comprise of the following topics:

• Your motivation for applying

• Why you think you should be awarded the Tabaxh scholarship.

• Your thoughts on the opportunities and responsibilities that a full-cost scholarship at the University of the Gambia, Crab Island TVET or the University of Science, Engineering and Technology (USET) brings.

• Your academic work to date - can you convincingly communicate your passion for, and the importance of, your chosen subject?

• Your proposed degree at the University of the Gambia, Crab Island TVET or USET - can you provide a convincing justification for your choice of course?

• Your career plans - can you convincingly link your application for both a Tabaxh scholarship and your proposed course to your future career plans?

• You may also be asked probing intellectual or ethical questions, to which there are no 'right' answers.

• Final thoughts and any questions you might have.
