November 29, 2007 - Details of the Tellus English Language Scholarship (TELS): This scholarship is aimed at making a significant improvement in the students' level of English while also enhancing the lives of others. It is to be launched on the 1st of November 2007 with the deadline for entries the 31st of December 2007, and all successful applicants are required to start and finish their course before the 30th of June 2008. Only 55 places are available.
The TELS programme is administered by Mr. Kimmo Kosunen and Mr. Neil Pick who are also Directors of Tellus Group Ltd.
The scholarship covers 75 per cent of tuition fees. For example, 15 hours of study per week would normally cost £120.00 (or E 180.00) but, in the scholarship programme, it would only cost £30 (E 45.00) per week, a reduction of £90.00 (E 135.00). However, the scholarship does not cover accommodation, travel, travel insurance etc., and applicants must be able to demonstrate that they can pay for such extra costs. Students can arrange their own accommodation or can use our service for example Host Family (Home stay) Half Board, which is breakfast and evening meal, €175 Person per week or Host Family (Home Stay) Full Board, which is breakfast, packed lunch and evening meal, €189 Person per week. Tellus may be able to support applicants with financial hardship by assisting them to find part-time work.
The successful candidates are to study a course from the minimum of three weeks up to the maximum of three months.
The application process is simple. First, students fill in the registration form, but the key criterion is the supporting statement, in which they must detail in 250-300 words why an improvement in their English skills would improve the lives of others. Then, they must submit this to the participating partner who will ensure the application is complete and that the applicant meets the minimum standard of language level. Next, the partner will forward us the application for our approval and selection. Finally, the partner will be informed within seven days of receipt if the applicant has been successful who will in turn advise the applicant.
Candidates are accepted only if their applications have been approved by a Scholarship Partner. Email admin2 ( @ ) tellusgroup dot co.uk with your name, telephone number and country of origin. And we will forward an appropriate partner's details.
