"Our aim is to equip these people with skills they are not likely to acquire in the normal course of their functions. These could include subjects such as business skills, HR management, financial management, presentation skills, or any other area of learning that would be of benefit to the candidate," said AMF chairman Paul Middleton.
Each scholarship nomination should include a motivation, the nominee's full CV, a letter from the nominee explaining why they deserve to be selected, as well as their short, medium and long-term goals in the media industry.
From these applications, a panel of media industry heavyweights will select the eight successful candidates. The training programmes will be designed according to the most prevalent needs identified during the selection process.
The scholarship money of R240 000 was raised at the AMF Mystery Masters Golf Day in March 2011.
Email nominations to Linda Botha, ten.asmoklet@7750432enilno before Friday 8 July 2011.
