- additional conditions not contained in the general regulations.
The original letter is sent to the student and copies to the Supervisor(s) and Head of Department. Two copies of the Conditions of Award, and a Starting Advice Form must be included with the letter of offer. The candidate will be expected to return one copy of the signed Conditions of Award and the completed Starting Advice to the Manager, Scholarships, Office of Research and Development.
