The selection committee will submit the award decision to the School's Directorate for approval. If necessary, the selection committee may request a personal interview with the candidates.

This call for applications may be declared void if the selection committee so decides.

The winners consent to their names appearing on the Award website and in the documentation associated with it.

The applicant agrees to accept, whatever it may be, the decision of the selection committee, which may not be revoked under any circumstances at the request of the applicants.
