Weidenfeld Scholars Selection Weekend

Selecting candidates for the 2010-11 cohort

23 - 25 April 2010
Sunningdale Park

The annual Selection Weekend for the next cohort of Weidenfeld Scholars will take place in April. Those candidates who have applied for the Weidenfeld Scholarship and Leadership Programme and have been accepted for a course at Oxford University are considered for the scheme. Shortlisted candidates are invited for the Selection Weekend at Sunningdale Park.

The purpose of the weekend is to be able assess in a face to face interview the capacity of the candidate to think on his or her feet, to gain an understanding of the candidate’s future professional aspirations and to assess the candidates’ originality and distinctiveness as a potential leader in their field.

Candidates each attend a 30 minute interview with a three person panel who are drawn from the Scholarship Advisory Board.

On the Saturday evening there will be an official Selection Weekend dinner which will bring together current Weidenfeld Scholars, Ambassadors from the Programme’s target countries, Heads of Departments and colleges in Oxford, donors and other special guests.

Beyond the rigors of the interview process, the Selection Weekend is also an opportunity for the candidates themselves to meet like-minded young people from their regions and neighboring countries, to exchange thoughts and ideas and to make new contacts and friendships.
