This is a very competitive program and consideration will only be given to Jamaican-citizen graduates of local universities with first-class honors, upper second-class honors, or lower second-class honors Bachelor's degrees. No one with a Pass degree or an overall C average or below may apply. Applications will be accepted by the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the American Embassy in Kingston NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, MAY 27, 2011.
INTERVIEWS of pre-screened candidates will take place in the embassy's Public Affairs Section in early-mid July 2011.
Persons with "green cards" (alien registration cards), or already pursuing studies at a U.S. university, or who are living in the United States, are NOT eligible to apply for these awards. Recipients should plan to return to Jamaica on completion of their studies in the United States and must spend at least two years in Jamaica before becoming eligible for consideration to immigrate to the U.S.
Applicants will be required to take the next sitting of the paper-based Graduate Record Examination (GRE) on February 12, 2011 (registration deadline/receipt date at the Educational Testing Service [ETS] in Princeton, New Jersey: December 31, 2010). Detailed information about the GRE can be obtained at www.gre.org<http://www.gre.org>. To schedule an appointment for the paper-based Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), one may do so on-line at www.mba.com<http://www.mba.com/>; by calling 1-800-GMAT-NOW begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-GMAT-NOW end_of_the_skype_highlighting; or by completing the International Test Scheduling Form in the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) bulletin, if paying with a U.S. credit card.
