TOGETHER FOR SUDAN
Guidelines for Project to Pay University Scholarships. June 2008
1. Scholarship applications are received by the TFS Local Steering Committee
in Khartoum which recommends applicants to the TFS Director. Scholarships are
awarded by the TFS Trustees on the basis of individual merit, recommendation by the
Director and the Local Committee and available funding at the time of application.
2. All disadvantaged Sudanese women living in Sudan are eligible to apply for
scholarship. Scholarships are not provided to male applicants.
3. University scholarships are provided only at the undergraduate level and applicants
shall be first year aspirants holding the Sudan school certificate of the same year as the
call for applications. With the exception of the vocational training scholars as may be
agreed by Trustees, new applicants are accepted only for the first year of University
4. No applicant shall be excluded on the basis of religious belief or affiliation and no
religious group shall be favoured.
5. Members of ethnic groups which have been marginalised and have few educated
women are given special consideration.
6. Scholarships will not be given for theological education or for education outside
Sudan.
7. Applicants shall normally be selected from the first intake so as to shorten the selection
process, allow TFS to concentrate on applicants with higher grades and avoid those with
lower Grade Point Averages (who can usually only gain admission to more expensive
universities).
8. TFS scholarships are for tuition and registration fees only and each scholar must
provide for her own living expenses. However, TFS scholars are given priority in the
TFS-funded hostel on a space available basis.
9. Selection priority shall be given to applicants in economic need and to applicants
intending to study for teaching, medical, political and business careers. Special priority is
given to nursing, midwifery and paramedical scholars.
10. Except in special circumstances approved by TFS Trustees, no scholarships will be
given to relatives of the TFS Local Selection Committee.
11. Each TFS scholar must reapply annually to TFS Khartoum office for scholarship
renewal, attaching her grade record of the previous year. Every effort will be made to
2
accommodate ongoing scholars but those who repeat twice will not be eligible for
continued scholarship funding without the agreement of the Director
12. Pregnant scholars shall be given a one year leave of absence provided that they apply
in writing to the TFS Deputy Country Coordinator and freezing of studies for that year
has been approved by the university authorities. Reinstatement as a TFS scholar shall
require reapplication.
13. If a scholar leaves university without notifying the TFS in writing, the scholarship
may be terminated after consultation with university authorities.
14. Applicants who are awarded a scholarship but do not take it up and do not request and
receive permission to do so at a later date are disqualified from applying for a subsequent
scholarship.
15. Scholars who fail in their studies and are not allowed to continue by the university in
which they are enrolled are disqualified from reapplying to TFS. However, if the
university in which the failed student is enrolled allows her another semester or year in
which to improve her grades, TFS policy is normally to continue the scholarship if
funding is available. If the scholar repeats for a second time, TFS will not pay her fees
but will keep her name on the list of scholars and will resume paying her fees if her
performance improves and she is promoted to the next class.
16. If a scholar changes universities without TFS agreement, the scholarship is cancelled.
17. Scholarship application by a family member of a current TFS scholar shall not be
discouraged but the Local Committee shall be notified of the relationship at the time of
application.
18. Scholars “under Gasim” are out side Together for Sudan responsibility .As of 2005,
there are no more TFS scholars “under Gasim” (meaning that TFS paid the registration
fee while Ahfad waived the tuition fee). Any scholars selected solely by President Gasim
Badri (normally because they do not meet the TFS Grade Point Average requirement)
remain outside TFS responsibility. However, if Ahfad chooses to call these scholars TFS
Scholars, they may also be known as such. Nonetheless, when Ahfad waives the tuition
fee for certain scholars but requires them to pay their own registration fee, the condition
for their acceptance as honorary TFS scholars is that they do so. Such scholars must sign
an agreement that they will pay their own registration fees and not seek to persuade TFS
to do so.
19. As of the 2006-7 academic years, each new TFS scholar shall be required to sign a
statement that it is her intention to remain in Sudan and seek to promote national
development rather than to move abroad. It shall be understood on acceptance as a TFS
scholar that TFS graduates will be encouraged to return to their home areas for at least
one year to promote national development.

Guidelines for Teachers' Training and Support Project June 2008.
The primary aim of the project is to promote education among displaced and
impoverished children and selection of schools for inclusion in this project is primarily
on the basis of poverty and displacement. The primary work of the project is to train

incentives for all teachers in sponsored schools.

understood that a teacher’s incentive may be discontinued by TFS at any time. All
school expenses other than those specified in the partnership agreement are the
responsibility of the school itself. It is also understood that teachers under this
project are schools' employees and not Together For Sudan employees, thus
should not in any way claim benefits from TFS if the later decided to discontinue
it is partnership with the schools or CBOs.

funding received from other sources. Schools which do not comply with this
request may be dropped from the project.

schools for at least the next academic year.
13. Normally classrooms or shelters for teaching shall be provided by the sponsoring
organisation which shall also, where possible, provide teaching aids such as

accounts wherever possible for areas outside Khartoum and will be received by
individual teacher in Khartoum area. TFS requires receipts from each
participating teacher for the monthly payments.

the academic year.

TOGETHER FOR SUDAN
Guidelines for Solar Project. June 2008.
The purpose of the Solar Project is to provide solar panel lighting, primarily for education
but also for income generation and community functions, to displaced or impoverished
persons living in areas off the electricity grid.
1. All Solar Project sites must be off the electricity grid and not likely to be supplied by
electrical power lines in the near future.
2. Priority in site selection shall be given to locations where TFS has women’s literacy
classes or some other project and/or where there are already established educational
programmes for which lighting is needed.
3. Favoured sites are schools and community centres and no site will be selected which
denies use of its facilities on the basis of ethnic or religious identity. In other words, a
church site would need to be one which welcomes use of its premises for community,
educational, medical and other functions which include non-Christians.
4. Selection priority shall be given to sites likely to service large numbers of people.
5. No Solar Panel shall be placed on an individual’s house even if educational and other
community functions are carried out there.

at the discretion of the Country Coordinator should it be determined that site use rules
have been violated.
7. Before placement of a solar panel, agreement shall be signed between Together for
Sudan and two responsible individuals of the centre at which the panel is to be placed.
The agreement shall verify ownership of the panel by Together for Sudan which retains
the right to remove the panel at its discretion. The agreement shall also verify the
willingness of the responsible individuals to insure that the solar panel is used for
community purposes as listed above and commit them to maintain the panel.
8. Training in panel maintenance shall be provided by Together for Sudan where needed.
2
9. The responsible persons at the Solar Panel site shall ensure proper use and
safeguarding of the panel and shall submit quarterly reports to TFS office on the use of
the panel.
10. Solar panels would be placed in basis of a trial period of one year, if TFS satisfied
that the community is using it properly, then the panel will be handed over completely
to community responsibility and if they failed to maintain the panel or use it properly, the
solar panel will be removed.
