Can an employee apply for a Scholarship if they are taking only one course?
No, employees taking only one course are not eligible to receive a scholarship. However, if the course is part of an overall program for which the applicant has applied, then an application can be made. Ministries may use their discretion to fund individual developmental courses that do not lead to certificates or degrees, including exam-preparation courses, as these are not covered by the Scholarship program.
