Submitting a successful application
To ensure your application is reviewed in a timely manner please ensure the following:
· The application has been filled out in English – unfortunately, we currently do not have the staff capacity to review applications in all official UN languages.
· The application has been made by, or authorized by, the head of the school (President/Chancellor/Rector).
· The application has been made on behalf of the entire school and not one college, institute, faculty or area of the university (for example, the college of letters and science, the law school, the business school or the human rights institute). We cannot accept applications for one portion of the school and the application must be endorsed by the head of the university.
· A minimum of three distinct focal points/points of contact must be included in the application, one of which must be the head of the school (President/Chancellor/Rector) and their full names (first and last, no initials), non-generic institutional email addresses, and their position/title with the organization.
· We cannot accept generic email addresses (for example, rector@school.edu, president@school.edu, info@school.edu, etc.) and we also cannot accept commercial email addresses (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.).
· Please do not repeat contact names as this will result in the rejection of your application.
