Learners get a second chance to shine
2009-05-07
THE Allan Gray Orbis Foundation is providing South Africa’s brightest Grade 12 learners with a second opportunity to shine on 6 June this year. Due to the large number of bookings, the Foundation has announced its decision to give learners another chance to write the Additional Admission Research Project (AARP) Test, a requirement when applying for the Foundation’s unique Fellowship Programme. The Fellowship Programme aims to develop students, known as Allan Gray Fellows, as South Africa’s future high growth entrepreneurial leaders and lists comprehensive financial support as one of its many benefits. The purpose of writing these tests is to afford all applicants the same opportunity to display their academic ability and potential in the areas of Mathematics and English. In essence, the AARP tests levels the playing field by providing an equal and accurate measure of a candidate’s potential in a highly disparate education system. The results of these tests are then used by the Foundation to fairly assess the applicant’s suitability to compete for the Awards. The tests do not require any specialist knowledge and as such do not require any preparation or studying. Interested learners have register to write by 22 May to write on 6 June. For further information on how to apply to write the AARP test visit www.allangrayorbis.org or call 0861 23 0235.
