Top Mark
This is awarded to the highest mark achieved in each genre and level. The mark must be between 90 – 100 to qualify. More than one person may be eligible for this award if multiple candidates receive the same highest mark.

If the recipient does not use the scholarship to sit an examination the following year, the exam scholarship is automatically surrendered/void.
