- have at least one full academic year left in current college program and be pursuing his or her remaining studies full-time;
- possess a minimum academic average of 73% or equivalent performance level; (students who do not have their final marks at the time of application should submit available transcripts and mid-term marks; final marks will be requested if the applicant is asked to interviews); and
