Application Roadmap

- Review sponsor briefs carefully to confirm course eligibility, bond terms, and internship schedule.
- Prepare a polished resume, latest transcript, testimonial, and statement of interest aligned with the sponsoring industry.
- Submit your application through the college portal or directly to the sponsor as instructed.
- Attend interviews or selection assessments; clarify compensation, bond length, and training expectations.
- Once awarded, sign the sponsorship agreement, coordinate internship logistics, and maintain required GPA/CCA standards for renewal (refer to the ITE PDF for sponsor-specific bond terms and reporting requirements).
Preparation Playbook
- Build an evidence log of industry-relevant projects, competitions, or part-time roles to strengthen interviews.
- Practise situational questions that test customer service, safety awareness, and teamwork.
- Clarify long-term career goals to ensure the sponsor's bond aligns with your aspirations (e.g., aviation, advanced manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare).
- Keep an eye on attendance and conduct records—they factor heavily into scholarship shortlisting.
- Seek guidance from ITE career coaches on negotiating bonds, progression to Work-Study Diplomas, and pathway to diplomas or degrees after completing obligations.
- Bookmark the ITE Industry Scholarships PDF (197 KB) and review it each term—new partners join and criteria evolve throughout the year.
