苹果淫院's Internal Preparatory Process

For more information on requesting an Endorsement Letter, please see the tab to the left.

Canadian Scholarship

Due to the high volume of applications received, 苹果淫院 will only endorse a maximum of two applicants for each Canadian Region excluding Quebec, in which we will endorse 2-4 applicants.

Other Nations/Global Scholarship

苹果淫院 will endorse a maximum of two applicants per Nation/Global Scholarship. This means that even though countries like the US have multiple scholarships available for different states, 苹果淫院 will still only nominate a total of two applicants per nation. In certain extremely exceptional circumstances, we may endorse a 3rd candidate for a nation/global scholarship, but this happens rarely.听
