Following receipt of the full applications, the Trustees will draw up a 'shortlist' of 5 or 6 women and place them in order of preference. Then, if the first two candidates succeed in securing places in their chosen courses of study, one or both may become the next recipients of the Yasin scholarships (depending on the availability of sufficient funds). If not, the opportunity will pass to the third, fourth or subsequent candidate, provided that they have secured their college places. This process should be completed by mid-to-late February, depending on the course and college chosen and their own particular timescales.

The Trustees' decisions will be final; and canvassing will disqualify; however, the criteria and procedures will be as open and transparent as possible and candidates who are shortlisted in one year will not be precluded from applying in subsequent years.

A list of Colleges and Universities in Ireland is provided in the 'Universities' section to assist potential candidates who may wish to contact them, access their websites, ascertain courses of study offered by them, check costs, closing dates for applications, and so on.
