<p> Ashcombe Dorkinian Association</p><p>The Ashcombe Dorkinian Association seeks to promote good relations between the Association members and The Ashcombe School. Each year it awards a Bursary to the Ashcombe student who is seen to have been the most effective in promoting the values that underlie Ashcombe School; in academic studies, community harmony and goodwill and the ability to cope with outside pressures of all sorts. The value of the Award this year is expected to be £500 and is awarded after interviews of applicants in June just after the exams. To apply a student should hand in this form with his/ her name added to Mr Ben Blackband, Head of Sixth Form so that we know you are intending to apply. Then we expect you to write a letter in which you set out why you think you should be awarded the Bursary, attaching such evidence that you have of your achievements, such as a list of your exams results so far, your sporting interests, your leisure interests, what jobs you may be doing/ have done, any references you might have from an employer or leisure activity manager/leader so that we gather an all round picture of what you have gained from and have returned to the community both inside and outside of school.</p><p>We expect you require a month or so to gather your thoughts and then, if you wish to apply, write your name on this form together with a letter of application which should then be handed to Mr Blackband, probably by 8th May 2017*. In principle we then consider the applications and invite a short list to attend for interview in the School in June.</p><p>* date to be confirmed</p><p>I wish to be considered for the Ashcombe Dorkinian 2017 Bursary Award and will submit a letter and supporting information to Mr Blackband for forwarding to the Association Award Panel.</p><p>Name: ………………………………………………… ……….…………</p><p>Bursary 1604</p>
