To establish credibility in our initial global recruitment process, Global Tassels will collaborate directly with community leaders and advisers. Our local volunteers act as liaisons between their countries and Global Tassels. They work closely with us to promote our programs, nominate students, and strengthen relationships among schools, students, and our team.
The following criteria are designed to identify students who align with our mission and vision, aiming to drive CHANGE in their communities and lead long-term PROJECTS. We are committed to fostering GT Student-Leader Scholars who become influential voices in their communities. It is our responsibility to select students who are dedicated to our process and possess the physical, mental, and intellectual abilities to excel academically abroad.
The list below outlines our basic criteria. Please note that colleges and universities may have additional requirements, such as exams, documentation, and applications, for our GT Student Leaders to enroll as matriculated students. GT’s leadership team and governance are responsible for ensuring a fair and ethical recruitment process at all times.
If you have any questions about any of our requirements, you may contact our Chief Operating Officer, Ms. Denica Kelly, at [email protected]
