** Moreover, depending on the success of this scheme, we plan to negotiate additional placements in other leading international institutions in future.

FIT has formed a special committee to invite applications and make a selection. As we are offering only one scholarship at this stage, the selection process is quite competitive.
Depending on the response, we may require the short-listed candidates to write an essay on an international taxation issue to assist us further in the selection process
